Would you be concerned about buying a high mileage 2014 Jaguar XF?

I'm about to spend some money my grandparents left me, but I'm worried that I might waste it. I need a secondhand car for my family and I've always wanted a Jaguar. I've found a 2014 Jaguar XF D V6 with 113,020 miles on the clock, but I'm concerned about the high mileage. Would I be better getting a 2016 Hyundai i40 CRDI SE with average mileage for a little less money?

I, too, would be concerned about the mileage on this Jag. Will be getting to the point where the DPF fills up with ash and needs a new timing belt, tensioner, waterpump and aux belt. Probably some other things. The i40 makes more sense and will still be under Hyundai warranty for another four years.
