It will get used where there are all sorts of fluids, oil, cutting agents, mentholated spirit.
Any other things it should have?

No idea on how much money, I don't need a Rolls Royce a Mercedes will do but I would look at a Ford if you get my drift.

I think a member here has this one or at least this make. No idea where this sits in the quality range

It's spot on for accuracy and reliability Ian, I've one just like it

I have Moore and Wright, and believe it or not the Mitutoyo is also made in the UK.

It's certainly better than the tat I've seen some people use.......in fact I used mine yesterday, perhaps it was the picture of the brake pipe measuring you saw
