Is the Honda CR-V any good?

I'm thinking of buying a Honda CR-V 2.2 i-CTDi ES 5-door on a 57-plate. I'm just wondering how long should these cars run for on average, as this car has 128,000 on the clock. Is it about finished and at the end of its running life? Are they expensive on fuel and repair, and running costs and insurance {don't tell me insurance group as I don't understand it - what is that in money terms roughly}

Good things are chain cam engine and no DPF on 2.2iCTDI.

Roomy and versatile. Very comfortable, pleasant and relaxing to drive. not at all cumbersome. 2.2 i-CTDI diesel is excellent.
