Is a used RS4 a good idea?

Im trying to buy a used Audi RS4 but I'm worried. Most of them have high mileages and I don't know if they have any major problems from the gearbox, clutch or engine.

Most are selling in the range of £18,000 to £25,000 pounds and most are over 45000 miles.

I've heard of one getting to 80k miles, no trouble, but that seems to have been an exception.
