It depends *what* mileage its done. If its spent its previous life pootling round town then there's a good chance that the DPF and its associated components will be reaching EOL far sooner than expected. Same with the EGR valve, that will be getting blocked.

I've worked with Peugeots and Citroens as an independent for years and seen DPFs get blocked or the additive tank run empty as low as 60,000 miles for local runners, yet manage over 100,000 miles for motorway drivers.

Service history and care are also key factors. I've been looking for something similar to you and found lots of beautiful looking cars but suffered severe neglect under the bonnet - two of them had absolutely no coolant in them whatsoever. One with a oil filler cap siezed onto the engine block.

Even simple things like not caring that the plastic windscreen scuttle is fixed securely can cause water to run into the engine and rot the soundproofing and run into the electrics. And its owner neglect like this that sometimes unfairly calls French cars unreliable.
