All the way foot to the floor you'll do in in under 2 hrs.
I regularly do trips to Aberdeen in under 2hrs.

If your that concerned, trailer it home or dont buy it?
Worst thing to do would be to stop start, check oil, water levels and fill it up with juice before leaving. Let it get up to temperature before giving it the beans etc and if its not a complete heap of junk youll be fine.

190 mile lol its nowt just drive it normally like any other car.
unless its a complete bag of shite you should have no problems.
motorway miles are nowt to worry about i would rather buy a car with 150k motorway miles than a one with 80k around the doors miles.

As said before, if you're in the slightest bit worried it wont make it back by 190 miles, I would seriously reconsider purchasing this car

with any car, you don't know if it will make it 5 miles down the road when you get it, no matter what service history etc, they could have put metal shavings in the oil filler cap for fun.
But it's just doubts due to high miles, nothing else.
Probably gonna get it regardless

It will be fine. Stop whenever you need to. I drove to Devon a couple of months after passing my test (which took about 4 hours in the 12v) and only stopped once about half an hour into the journey.
