Is it risky to buy a high-mileage car?

Is it wise to buy a Ford Mondeo (2010 model) with 155,000 miles on the clock?

All depends on the price of the car and how much of it has been replaced already. May need a clutch, DMF, DPF, EGR, timing belt, turbo, turbo oil feed, brake discs, brake pads, tyres. If all of them the bill could come to £7500.
