Rover 75 - worth buying?

I am looking at buying a Rover 75, and have seen a 2.0 ltr diesel Connoisseur for sale, as you can imagine it is fully loaded with equipment so quite appealing, the bodywork appears in good condition with no rust and same for the interior, but it has 160k on the clock and the asking price through the dealer for this car is £1295 with such mileage on this 51 plate diesel is it a good idea? What are your thoughts?

It's a risk. If you can afford to lose £1295 (but ger most of it back from selling the bits as spares) then go for it.
