Fuel pipes often rot through at that age, diesel leaks around rear axle area on drivers side. I’ve replaced whole pipes front to back on mine with fuel grade rubber pipe.
Lift 2nd row of rear seats and then lift rear carpets so you can check for any rust signs on boot floor area. Not all sellers will be happy doing this so that’s your call.
Try and check air filter to see if it looks like it’s been serviced, only some wire clips to open housing.
Put steering on full lock and try to go over a bump at low speedI tried a kerb when I test drove the 3 litre and do this on both locks. If you get a loud grating noise that makes you think something is badly wrong. Dead easy 4 spots of grease, it has 4 steering stops that need a blob of grease once or twice a year.
LCD display in speedo cluster often starts to lose characters. Someone did a good write up with photos how to fix on here.
Good Luck
