Going to be picking up a pony bottle, saw this was listed strangely so that when you searched for "Mares MR12" it didn't come up. For $52 shipped I think I did OK, others may disagree.

I am trusting a hunch that "stable IP with no free flows" means ready to use. You can't tell for sure from pictures, but I don't see any real corrosion and the hose looks good.
I just rebuilt my MR22 myself (abyss and proton 2nds are next) so I am familiar with Mares designs and wanted to keep the parts a bit standardized.
I am hoping I can get through at least one season with it as is before I go through it as it will then be getting the newer tri material HP seat and updated hard seat/poppet/whatever which was $33 for my MR22 (same parts) on top of the rebuild kit price. I even have a spare new 1st stage diaphragm for this (also same as MR22).
SO, some questions:
1. What version (and when) of the MR12 is this? Does it have the DFC or did that come later?
2. What 2nd is that, it looks like a plastic MR12 III second or something, which would normally be less desirable but on a pony the lighter plastic could be an advantage. I see it has the tube for the VAD system and its shaped just like my Abyss overall. Specifically what kit would I order to rebuild this?
Also for the ultimate in compact pony reg I put in a $25 offer on one of these 200 bar DIN fittings (he has 10). The pony will come with a 200bar DIN valve with yoke insert so I figured why not.
