not that fussed on big mods too be honest was looking for a fairly standard one or mildly tuned.
i wouldnt think about a car in those terms, one more owner = less money
the cars with 70-80k will probably be better than some with 20-30k as they are used regularly.
it is a bit of a lottery with frs's though
normal failures:
chargecooler pump
water hoses
inlet manifold hoses
thermostat housing leaks
rust on front and rear arches (and sills in some cases)
stonechips to front, and lower bumper damage
if you are concerned about resale, make sure car has full service history, both sets of keys, leather RS wallet, mats are a bonus as they are hard to find. look for one with few owners, and check the history is consistent, all mots, original sale receipt. dont be put off by resprayed fronts (paint is soft)
