- ✓Check the rear wheel arches and the bottom of the doors for rust, which is common on all UK cars of this era.
- ✓Ensure the electric windows operate smoothly; the regulators frequently fail and replacements can be hard to source.
- ✓Listen to the L-Series diesel (if applicable) for excessive smoke on cold startup, indicating worn injectors or glow plugs.
