Buying a Lexus RX450h - what should I check?

I've seen a five year old Lexus RX450h with 130,000 miles for sale, priced at £14,000. Am I mad to consider such a high mileage? Is there anything to look out for at this age of car?

That's very interesting. Not much wears out apart from the waterpump, and the price does reflect the mileage. It's probably negotiable downwards because I doubt he'd get many takers. If it's a dealer he'll have paid less than £10,000 for the car.
