Hello beautiful car owners!

I moved country and sold my BMW X1, it's a nice car but I always liked Mazda since the day I got inside a Mazda 3 in 2014 (I still remember to this day), now I had a look at a CX-30 and I loved it, so I think soon I'll join the group but I'd like your help chosing one.

I have a 5yr old kid, and the car will be used mainly in medium / long journeys.

I don't want to spend too much on a car since it will be parked outside and I don't want to feel to bad if people bash it, but I want a car that is realiable and won't require any major maintenance for the next couple of years.

The car I'm considering buying is this:

CX-30 Skyactiv-X 2.0L 180cv Exceed
Licensed in 12/2020
Automatic gearbox 
115.000KM 
€14.900

For comparisson, I found another CX-30 near where I live:

CX-30 e-Skyactiv-X 2.0L 186CV Exceed
Licensed in 05/2023 (still have 3 years factory warranty)
Manual gearbox (I don't mind if it's manual/automatic)
43.000KM
€23.900

Do you think it might be too risky buying a CX-30 with 115.000KM done in 5 years?
Is the newer 2.0L e-Skyactive X much better than the previous 2.0L Skyactive?
Should I just invest around 50% more and buy a newer one?

What should I inspect if I go for a test drive? Any extra tips finding my CX-30?

Many thanks!

EDIT: My main concern is about it's mileage and not the size.
