Buying a high mileage Mondeo - what should I look out for?

I am interested in buying a high mileage 2007 petrol Ford Mondeo. It has 90,000 miles on the clock and meets my budget. I suppose these have a DMF are these prone to the same problems as the earlier cars? Are there any other problem areas at this mileage like coil packs, fuel pumps etc?

This will have the old but reliable chain cam 2.0 litre engine, still in use with a turbo as the 2.0SCTI putting out up to 250PS in the Focus ST. General problem areas here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/ford/mondeo-iv-2007/...d
