SEAT Exeo buying advice?

I'm thinking of buying SEAT Exeo ST 2.0 TSI 2010 67K miles. I a see practical sporty estate that should have several more years reliable service - assuming its been well looked after (full service history and I'm getting RAC inspection). I've been roundly harassed by my father and father-in-law who say its too high mileage, and I should buy something more modern (and considerably more expensive) for 'piece of mind'! Who is right?

These are basically Audi A4 B7 Avant with the later 143PS diesel engine. That engine can still sometimes have an oil pump problem and at 67k miles needs a new timing belt, tensioner and waterpump anyway. But they drive and handle very well.
