If I could get another 40k to 60k out of it I'd be happy with that. If it would be good for another 100k, even better.
The engine is likely to be fine, but the rest of the car is going to be tired (example, the front shocks). It’s done 200k. You are going to need to spend money. That’s why it’s £650 and not £23k like when it was new.

Alternatively I replaced so many pets that there’s only 2 or 3 bits to do and then it’s fine for 200k... who knows.
