thats a facelift all right, someone could have put a 'private plate' on it and the dip stick seller marked it as 1996 due to the N on the plate.

I just did same check,

Walk away from this one!!

I reckon it's been stuffed, and bodged with facelift parts by a cowboy.

Guys also if you look carefully you can tell it's a pre-facelift interior gaps in headrests etc

It could be a clone or if the parts are just cosmetic he might have had a front ender and fitted facelift parts.  I did this with a corsa once and it made it look bang up to date just for the sake of new bumpers and front/rear fogs after the kissis forgot to turn and ended up in a hedge.  Either way it should be mentioned in the advert and for that reason I'd leave it well alone.
