I made sure mine was 5 door, got an 05 one, which has some nicer things than the newer, such as the blue tint glass, and no aerial on the roof. (couple of other things but can't remember)
I prefer lower mileage, but realistically as long as it has been looked after and serviced properly it should be able to do that again before breaking.
Have you looked in the for sale section?
You can always fit leather seats afterwards if you should want to.
