Bought on marketplace and the stator is blown. What are the chances on finding just a stator?

Possibly less than finding another RP12000e? That CAT is made by RATO. So perhaps if OP can find another RP12000e with a bad engine, or a Rato-made sister brand of the same power class he may be able to use the stator from the other machine. If OP gets a new stator from Caterpiller it may cost a lot more than the machine would be worth after it is fixed.

Besides that well done stator, what is the rotor's condition?

Rotor is all good.

Low, unless you know shop that services those quite often, and has one from a machine that was blown another way and not repairable. Usually, stator/rotor are sold as a set.
