Kilometers means nothing really. I've been in Commodore taxis with over 750,000 on the clock still on the original engine. An engine that is looked after properly will be perfectly fine at 175,000.

If you're concerned about the engine being thrashed check the rear guards for rubber. Also if the car has a three window display check the average fuel usage reading.

Even if the engine isn't perfect, half a day giving it a good service followed by a professional tune will have it good again.
