Default high mileage rs ?

Hi there guys ,
havent been on here in ages now! . so firstly hello again..

I use to have a 1.8 focus when i last used this then sold that and have been driving about in a seat leon fr 1.8t for the past year..

Now it is time to change again and i am looking at Mk1 Focus Rs yet again ! .

Now for my budget i would be able to get one but only if it had done 85k if im lucky or 90 odd. NOW!

What are the pros and cons of buying a car with this kind of mileage ?, what will they go onto if they have been well maintained.. and what should i excpect to break

Anyone that has one with high miles ?? and use them day to day

any help would be very good !!

as long as Full service and maintained to a good standard will be ok, check charge cooler pump is streaming or has been replaced. Turbo smoking? Thermo stat housing cracked? Rusted water pipes in drivers arch.
