Unless you plan to keep the car for a long time and do serious mileages, don't dismiss a high-miler - with a few simple refreshes from Kaz (half age-related rather than mileage), mine (98k) still feels very fit-and-tight. Dampers probably ARE tired by now, but they really don't feel it - better ride (primary and secondary) than the wife's Golf GTi...
...and beyond that, there's not a lot to worry about until ~200k if the car is carefully maintained...at least, nothing that won't need looking at on a 50k car in the same ownership timeframe.
