beware of the description then, if he told you spacious boot with good rear aspect then it means he has crashed it.

Its a lot of miles, but it depends on price, There is so much out there at the moment you could almost name your price on a car like this.
Have a good old look through the history, Check the service intervals. They are fairly solid cars but consider all the consumables too, how old is the clutch? the tyres? the brakes?

Do a car checker on it https://www.carcheck.co.uk/ it costs a few quid but at least you can find out if its been subject to any insurance payouts etc.
