Generally the problems with high mileage cars arise from the fuel pump and the injectors, sometimes the turbo but these tend to last a long time on the 2.0 HDI.
With that said, these problems can still occur on low mileage cars, it depends on how the car has been driven/maintained through its life and the quality of fuel that has been used. If you use good quality clean white diesel and no bio fuel or red diesel along with regular filter changes there's no reason that you would run in to problems with the fuel pump.
I always recommend using fully synthetic oil, changing it every 6k miles and letting the car warm up and cool down before/after hard driving, this will keep your turbo happy and it should see 200K easily.
