so long as its been looked after it will go for ever, take a good look at it, drive it and quiz him alot on servicing of the engine.

if he sounds genuine, and servicing was done reg. then it should be ok

If its been looked after, IE. 5k oil changes, glow plugs, injectors etc replaced when nessacry should go till 500k, if it hasn't been looked after lookout!!! ;)
