What are the total engine hours? The range 5s wouldn't worry me because they're super old but the 4s are probably pretty recent, judging from the range 1s. That said, I've never heard of an actual example of a car breaking from range 4 over revs hours after they happened, so I'd bet the car is good to go if it passes a PPI otherwise. Could be a good bargaining chip, though.

If the car runs well I wouldn't worry about it. If you like the car go for it.

Over-rev's are over rated. How many engines have seen catastrophic engine failure with over-revs 1 thru 5? Or even 6?
