I bought a 2004 diesel manual gearbox saloon with 148,000 miles on it in November of last year. It is remarkably rust free but has been well serviced all it's life.
A new clutch master cylinder, two new front springs and a drivers door lock cable are the only things needed other than oil and filters change and two new front tyres in the last 8,000 miles that I have done in the last 4 months or so.
It rides very nicely, with no squeaks or rattles with only wear on the drivers seat bolster and the steering wheel to show for the mileage on it.
Buy on condition and service history rather than age or mileage. You will not be disappointed.
