Generally, is it a good idea to buy a 200k specimen? How long do these things generally last?

Well another candidate came along... 200k miles and throwing faulty injector circuit code. Price is a bit better. Worth pursuing? Are injectors an easy DIY fix?

thank you all for the answers! Ended up checking out the pathfinder in question. it is a bit of a mess cosmetically: driver door got backed into, and dented door/body under the door, cracked windshield and busted plastic on steering column from attempted theft. Also needs new tires. However mechanically it looks very nice - no rust, engine in good shape and gearbox/clutch very smooth. Suspension seems okay as well. The selling is asking 1800 for it. How is that for a car with obvious cosmetic issues that may need some work.

I am looking to potentially getting a 1995 Pathfinder XE 4x4 with manual transmission. The vehicle has around 140k miles. Is this something worth looking into for a daily driver/vehicle to learn offroading in? How long do these things usually last and what should I be looking at when examining the truck in person? Appreciate the feedback
