One thing to check is the brake and clutch pedals. A car with 130K will
show substantial wear on the rubber pads (if original) where a 30K car
will show only a little.
Carpet/mat wear, and shifter knob wear are also indicators but these
items are more likely to be noticed by the owner and replaced.
