I dont know a great deal about this model as it doesnt appear to be very common, it looks good spec with history and appears well looked after, the only thing is its got 180000 on the clock, I know this wouldnt be of too much concern on a lower powered model as they seem to just keep going but any guidance on this model would be appreciated.

205bhp... that'll be a euro 5 engine. Decent power output with the nice five cylinder grunt to go with it & cheaper road tax.
180,000 miles is nothing on one of these really. Just check the history to see that its had regular services including transmission fluid changes. Check that the cam belt has been replaced as well as the auxiliary belts & tensioner (important, as if any of these belts fail, your engine is either scrap or it'll cost you a fortune to repair).
D5's are great engines though.
