The type of commode seal is not usually on a pre-purchase inspection.

The Microphor toilets were installed with a wax ring as that is what was called for.  The problem with this is there was a backing plate that was required.  It has certain specs.  to it's location on the bottom of the hopper.  Some of these backing plates were even left off  during original installation causing leaking gas and sewer. On some commodes the backing plates were installed for direct mount to the plywood floor/sewer flange then the commode was installed on tile which threw off the backing plates location resulting in leaks.
