Thinking about a Subaru Outback diesel, will have to be a high mileaged one due to budget 80000 + would you be worried about high miles... Or are they rock solid?

My diesel has just completed 84k and apart from a clutch and a couple of front bushes has been great. I do think the clutch is a weak link on these, and isn't strong enough to tow any weight with, a long first gear also doesn't help wear. Mpg is 40 for me with tyres lasting c24k. Camchains help keep the cost down too.

80K really isn't high milage.
Regular servicing, 10k miles or more frequently is an absolute must though, so make sure you have an abundance of stamps in the book.
