I'd go with my gut feeling on that one. I just bought a 2016 SUV for my wife and it had 45000kms, but I could tell from looking at it and around it that it had been treated pretty well. Did the carproof, it checked out, so I pulled the trigger. Then when I took it in for it's first service I had the dealer do a quick inspection just for piece of mind (they're usually complimentary anyway)

Keep in mind that at those kms it's likely coming up on it's first 'big' service. Stuff like changing the brake fluid, fuel filter, transfer case fluid, diffs, coolant, etc are starting to come in to play. Just doing oil changes aren't enough anymore. Take a look at the service schedule before buying, it's usually not a deal breaker but when you're buying make sure you're ready to throw another $500-$1000 at it in the near future
