High mileage Honda Accord - a good buy?

I'm looking for a spacious family car which will be used mainly for short journeys. I've seen a petrol 2012 Honda Accord Tourer with manual transmission. It's advertised at £7000 and has done over 110,000 miles. Do you think that this would be a sensible choice financially or wait for one with a lower mileage?

Yes. Fairly bulletproof. Very fair price for a 3 year old, despite the mileage. Give it a good service and change the engine oil and filter every 10k miles or every year whichever comes first.
