Check the eml comes on and goes out as some people remove the bulb to hide a fault. Check the 4wd engages and disengaes via the button on the dash (obviously don't drive round with it on). It's not a speed machine put should pull freely and not run out of puff up hill. Open rear dorrs and check sills for rust.

Some service history would be good and if it's had a new fuel pump fitted even better.

Try to check the metal fuel pipes between the fuel tank and chassis for corrosion and leaks too.
