Should I worry about an ex-hire car?

I am looking to buy a second hand Opel Zafira. I came close to buying a 2008 model, but at the last minute found out it was ex-hire. The mileage was 66,500 kilometres and it seemed to be in very good condition. Should I be wary about the fact that it was a hire car? Should I trust the mileage?
