Default High milage 166k

Hello all,
I need a safe motorway cruiser for two or three years due to arrival of a baby. Ive seen a 2015 model with 166k on the clock, no advisories for £5k. Thinking of buying it and repairing where necessary. I'm not mechanical, but suspect at that milage gearbox is liely to need attetion (?) does anyone have an idea of what else is likely to need attention e.g. clutch etc?

Thans all.
Tony

That’s very cheap. I’d be very keen to understand how it’s been used (majority motorway or short run private hire?) and how it’s been maintained.
