I am sure that bike is fine if ou are riding 140 or so k per week, but if you are riding more, you may want to consider increasing your budget as it will get you a bike with disc brakes, and better and lighter components.
He mentioned in the Buy & Sell it would be about a 20km commute each way to start. Then it would be around 30km.

I think the bike is fine for getting started. They're a good brand and they guys I know who own Devincis enjoy them You'll find the smoother wheels of a road or hybrid bike will feel quick compared the bulky mountain bike.
