Roughly 21k a year. Just make sure its been serviced regular. Do a search here on this forum on what to check when buying a used car, or google for that matter.

Nope that's right on average.

As long as its been looked after you wont have a problem.

Apparently the average is about 14.5k KMs annually so IMO it's a bit high but really nothing more than a statistic on its own man. Could be highway KMs an regularly serviced etc

the average klms p/year should be 25-30k ..with guess estimate of 400-500klms per week. Daily driven ..

most vehicles with high klms are due to highway driving which means the car is less stressed..but if the high klms if due to metro traffic conditions, its prone to stop and go movements and the GB, clutch, radiator (heat) are the ones prone to wear and tear alot.

as everyone says, just make sure that the engine is looked after and if possible get a mech/nrma or a good mate who knows about cars to check it out for you ...
