Bike in question was from copart and a cat n. Looks like a low side on lhs. All damage apparently cosmetic Vendor has had a reputable ducati dealer go through it. Its has a new inlet cam and 2 valves done this year. Bike has 4k miles and 5 keepers. Assuming its roughly 30 percent less than non cat marked bike would you still walk?
An engine doesn’t just get a new cam and 2 inlet valves at 4000 miles for no reason. Someone is not declaring the full history. If you have a registration number you can check previous MoTs that should indicate if the mileage is correct (and being a cynic, my immediate instinct is to suspect not). If it were me, I’d walk.

Yep done that and the mileage stacks up unfortunately. I reckon its been ragged rotten. Is there any data logged on ecu like rev range data etc that may help?
Ragging rotten is usually fine if there’s oil in it! I would seriously question the maintenance (or lack thereof) from 5 previous keepers in 4K miles.
