Is it safe to buy a 65,000 miles 10-plate car?

Is buying a very high milage car worth it? 65,000 for 10 reg car, plus my 10,000 a year.

The milage reflects in the price of the car, but should I pay the extra and have a car with average mileage if money is no object? Full sevice history and one owner?

65k miles in 2 years is good news if it is reflected in the price. Far better to spend that money on a 65k mile 2 year old than on a 20k mile 4 year old.
