How reliable is a 2008 Cadillac SRX?

I found a 2008 Cadillac SRX for sale that’s well within my budget and I might buy it. I’m a little worried that it might be so cheap because it’s unreliable and it’s started to show some problems. Is this a possibility?

The 2008 SRX specifically will typically last for 160,000 to 180,000 miles in total and has a 15% chance of developing serious problems that require a lot of time and money to fix.
