Mileage?!?!

While I'm still looking to by a Patrol, I'm coming across some vehicles with what I'd consider Low Mileage. (04's with less than 90K)

It still feels high, but have to consider they're 12 years old! I've just about got my head around this, as previously I'd like to buy lower milage vehicles.

I have also found a slightly newer vehicle, 55 plate... The updated shape/Interior. This however has nearly 115K on the clock. Now this feels like high milage to me. I know its well below what would be considered average milage at only 10,500 miles per year... But I'm struggling!

I'm sure that all parts of the Patrol are up to the job, but is there anything I should look out for when looking at cars with this kind of milage?

And out of interest, lets say there's two vehicles... Both about the same price. Both about the same condition... Good for their age. Both SVE spec.

You have the choice of an 04 with Sub 90K (Just) or the slightly new 55 with almost 115K... Which do you go for?
