If the bulk of those 142K miles are ones that you put on the car and you look after it well, carry on and enjoy driving it. It's a known quantity.
What others have said here is good advice. For some reason there is a mental hurdle that a lot of buyers have a problem getting over when presented with a car with 100,000 miles, regardless of model. Their loss is someone else's gain.
My Mk1 Golf had 268,000 miles on it and went like a dream. I did 180,000 of those myself and it didn't bother me in the slightest. If some numpty hadn't driven into the back of it and written it off* I'd still be pottering around in it.
*It's actually still on the road. I brought it back as a Cat D, sold it to a guy who pulled the creases out and last I heard it was in Bradford.
