The car's fine, and you have low mileage, safety hasn't been compromised...in fact, some safety has been restored. The core safety elements like the roll cage, brakes, airbags, etc. are all intact. It really comes down to whether you feel a need to update your ride to a later model.

The thing about European cars - they like to be tinkered with, not like Japanese cars that are so reliable (and so boring) one wonders why they even have a hood. Eurocars a much more fun to drive than Japanese (and most American) models, but that fun factor means that certain components are pushed closer to the edges of the engineering envelope.
