Advice on buying used car

I have never bought a second hand car before but am hoping to get a Volvo or Audi. My questions are
1. I am looking at a 2016 and a 2015 both at similar price. However, the 2016 has higher mileage than the 15. Of course I would rather be seen with a newer reg but would the 15 at the lower mileage be the better car?

2. There are quite a few dealers in Dublin. If they give a good warranty etc and a finance package, can I take the cars at face value or is it likely that mileage and history may be tampered with?

Any guidance greatly appreciated. My last two cars were brand new and I did not have to worry about them.
