Buyer advice, valve body on the transmission replaced

Hi All

I am looking at a 2005 MINI Cooper S at 79K miles. The most significant work its had is it had its valve body on the transmission replaced in 2012 (with MINI parts, but not at dealership it seems). Is this a red flag? I am somewhat of a newbie when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Car is also for sale at the high end I think, $9750...

Any thoughts or advice? Obviously, I need to test drive...

Thanks
