Default 2013 V70 D3 high miles opinions

I went out for a drive in a 2013 D3 G/T yesterday and was pleasantly surprised with how well it drove for it's 143k miles, it is business ed spec so has plenty of options albeit no leather. It is very tidy with just a few chips around the top of the rear bumper and a few marks to the gear lever surround.
I checked the paperwork out and it is 1 owner with full history, Volvo up to 110k then the last 2 were from independent. My concern is a receipt for work to the top end, new lifters etc which the trader says was for tappet noise, not from timing belt issues. My concern is that the receipt makes no mention of replacement timing belt or aux belts.
Does anyone have experience with the 2 litre 5 pots doing big miles without issue or indeed what problems I should be aware of? I am aware of the aux belt breaking and taking the timing belt with it but other than that, I can't seem to get much more information.
I could do a deal at £5300 but that is the top end of my funds and although it feels good value, I would have nothing left to cover any bills for work required for a month or 2.
