If it's been meticulously maintained, the motor has plenty of life left. I would be worried about everything else...the tranny, brakes, front end, anything that isn't a Cummins product. Also, unless this fella is basically giving the truck away, you can find something with fewer miles. If you don't mind me asking, what is the price?

15k is way too much for that many miles

I just paid 15,775.00 for the truck in sig. It had 67,000 miles on it. It was stock and drives great.
Found a guy wanting pay off.
Minor dings and scratchs.

Yeah 15K is a little steep for 200K miles.

You can do better unless you can deal real well. Take 5k off that and you would have a decent price.

15K is way too much. I'd politely inform the seller that he/she is insane and take your money elsewhere. There are plenty of trucks around that price with substantially fewer miles. I recommend autotrader.com and craigslist.

Tell them to get around $10,000.00 Newer year but that means nothing with that many miles

I agree, especially with all those miles being hooked to a trailer
