Should I buy a high mileage C-Class?

I am thinking of buying a 2010 Mercedes-Benz C220 with 112,000 miles on the clock. The dealer is asking £10,500 for the car. Do you think this is a good car to buy? I only do about 7500 miles a year and most trips are 50 miles or more.

If you are a low mileage driver it makes sense to go for a reasonably young but high mileage car. What to look out for here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/mercedes-benz/c-clas.../

Here's the price range: www.honestjohn.co.uk/used-prices/Mercedes-Benz/C-C...0 I think you can negotiate that £10,500 down on the basis of the mileage.
