Check for smoke/engine miss on cold startup. Requires injector seats. Check water pump for pink staining. Replacment pump all good Diff noise or oil round rear brake drums. Bearing kit upgraded for diff and larger axles plus wheel bearings 09 onward. The first of the Euro 4 engines (late 06-08) had engine knock issues that turned out to be ECU mapping for our crap diesel. A simple ECU burn fixed it. Keep an eye on ya fuel filter these D4 engines dont like water. Injector seats were copper in the first engines until 2010 the replacements are alloy and seam to be alot better. Due for replacement at 45000km
Apart from that short list ya good to go.
