There are better ways to confirm the actual mileage than this. They could have the headlights on at all times for all we know. Steering wheels, seats, gear knobs - the headlight is the last item I would think of when verifying the original mileage. It could have been replaced, too.

Looking at what I think are specs:https://www.auto-data.net/en/?f=showCar&car_id=7693 fuel economy is good, luggage space is good (500l) and with hatchback and folding seats would become very big when required. The extra 200 on tax wouldn't bother me as it's a small addition to my motoring costs (which are fuel dominated at the moment). 0-60 and hp are decent (about same as what I'm driving now, and the diesel torque might even make that feel a bit better when pulling low in revs). I think they're chain driven at that generation (pre 2008). So what's to look at if buying this? At the bangernomics price range, do folk transact cash mostly? (I've bought last 2 cars for cash (bank-notes), but was 1200 and 900 level; small dealers). If (big if) I ran it a year it would basically pay for itself in fuel savings versus what I'm doing today
