Would you be put off by 103k miles? I've just found a tidy looking Imperial Blue just down the road from me, but I'm not so keen on the mileage.

No mate as long as its services regular and not using oil then should be ok. High mileage motors are nothing to shy away from these days

Service history. Check the oil level and make sure it's clean oil.

Make sure it's been serviced regularly, also check for smoke on acceleration/over run and any knocking from the bottom end. These engines can last well, but only if looked after.
