What's the service history like?
Could have spent a lot of its life cruising up & down motorways in 5th gear at correct engine operating temperature
A lot of miles doesn't mean its about to fall apart, its hows it been looked after that counts.

Timing belt replacement is pretty cheap & simple on TU3 engine & still simple on ET3 with correct locking tools.
8 or 16 valve engine?
