Is there evidence that the heat stress test have been done?
Higher pressure radiator cap and possibly a sticker at the driver's door opening.
Pre-owned vehicles are always a gamble to a degree. I had a top line vs Caravel, where previous owners hadn't kept up the proper coolant concentration and an engine stud failed (wet sleeve). The a needle bearing in the gearbox failed and destroyed the box.
New or old, if you flog it you'll prematurely break it. Look after it and you'll likely get high kms.
Don't let the b'strds get you down!!
