I fully accept and am prepared to do all the preventative maintenance and servicing, I am just nervous that a car coming up for 2 decades old will leavestranded.
NoAny thoughts?

There is no need for nervousness, any car at any age can leave you stranded, buy a car that has been looked after, check it over for sill rust especially around the rear jacking points, ask to see receipts for service carried out and check MOT records as well as emission test results.
Ask a member here if they are willing to help you check it over if you are not confident, the rest is just common sense, and take your time to find the right car.
