Mileage advice

I'm just looking to buy a 2003 03 1.2S for my 17 year old son as his first car - actually he's paying, I'm just helping him to buy. We've looked at a couple in garages at around the £3,000 mark with mid 40,000 on the clock, but have also seen a private sale but the car has 79,000 on the clock. The prices is around £2,100/£2,200 - depends on the final price agreed upon.

My question: Is 79,000 miles high for a 6 year old 1.2 Micra, is it likely to still be going strong (it has FSH) and assuming it drives ok should I buy?

Any advice would be appreciated.
 
Went for a test drive in it today, lovely little motor. Couldn't believe how quiet it was at tick-over - I even started it again thinking that it hadn't started the first time!
 
weve done 26k in our '57' plate and it has yet to miss a beat... absolutley faultless!!!
