Obviously the higher the mileage ,the more engine wear , but what exactly bothers you about it , if at all ?
Reason being I'm looking at a car on 91k

depends on the car, if it was a fiat, renult, etc with 91k i wouldnt touch it, if it was a bmw, audi, volkswagen vauxhall then i would be fine with it if it had been looked after.

tap tap tap tap tap 
Only kidding, im guessing its about 98 so about 9yrs old?? Its not going to be in amazing condition & 91k is about average for that year. Just go look at it if it looks/drives suspect then walk!!

Personally I would'nt like a high mileage escort, even the low mileage ones feel tired, let aloone the high milers.

If the cars done a lot of miles I wouldnt go for it...only reason being the resale value would be low as when you start getting into the 100,000's its a big put off for MOST...

big mileages on diesels i dont think are too important, the engine is fine for it if looked after. its the ancilleries which cant take the mileage the same and need replaced.. suspension parts/electrics etc etc etc
