Radiator could do with a pro strip/clean & system flush (about $400) Every 25 years of age seems to be about 20% blocked Fan belts Engine Oil / Filter/ Fuel filters Check gearbox & diff oils for color (may need changing if not right/ level on both otherwise. If it's got an LSD diff, then an oil change would be a good idea

The title of this thread is a little confusing, you need to be damned sure of what engine is in it. If the engine is a ZD30 I would be avoiding it.

E25 2001 /2012 Engine
Petrol: 2.0 L KA20DE I4 2.0 L QR20DE I4 2.4 L KA24DE I4 2.5 L QR25DE I4 Diesel: 3.0 L ZD30DD turbo I4 3.0 L ZD30DDTi I/C turbo I4
Apparently a ZD30 engine. That engine will need a professional full inspection as to it's general condition.
Engine is fine if it's been treated well & fully maintained on time but they don't like being neglected or abused. Known locally as a hand grenade because of past abuse catching up

if i remember rightly the caravan zd30 is common rail, and a gutless piece of crap. the common rail zd30 where not the grenade version.
i'm well used the the navara and patrol version. the CRD zd30 never really blew up. (tho it had fuel usage issues). the grenade version is the DI, the vp44 injection pump version.
afaik the caravan got the common rail version not the vp44 version (that i have seen). its also very under fueled, i think it was something like 100kw which is down right gutless for a common rail 3 litre.
