Should I buy this Mondeo?

I am looking at buying a Mondeo Titanium X 2.0 TDCI 130bhp on a 58 plate - but it has 90000 miles on the clock.

The car looks mint and in very good condition, and has a full Ford service history. Is the mileage high for a car of this age, or should the car be ok for another 100k?

What things would start to go wrong on a car of this age? My other choice would be a Mk3 Mondeo Ghia X TDCi or Titanium X TDCI on a 56 plate, with around 60-70k.

Will need a timing belt soon. Might need a new DPF and DMF soon. Bit risky.
