Hi Adman, welcome
These cars are capable of huge mileages.
Intercoolers tend to pop at 100000+ miles - oil below the radiator.More so on remapped examples.
Timing belt and aux belt history important - due at 96000 or 8 years
Rear brake shoes ( handbrake) a known weak point which kills rear hubs.
DIM speedo clocks etc tend to fail progressively.
Failing turbo/ vacuum control valves and /or engine mounts can cause the car to go to limp mode if pressed hard.
Dual Mass Flywheels can fail early and are expensive to replace.
Clutch slave cylinders are a gearbox out event also.
Competent seller should be aware of all the above.
History important - talk to who serviced it.Get a code reading.Looked after examples are jems.
At 152000 if major components havn't been replaced they're probably not too far away
If in doubt walk away , think about it some more and walk further away.
Personal opinion is if they are looked after properly in standard tune they are capable of 250000 easy.
