If ever looking at a Toyota with a 1KZ, get it compression tested, a leak down test done, and pressure test the cooling system while the glow plugs are out.
This will give you good evidence if the head is cracked.
Apart from all that, the usual stuff when looking at any vehicle applies.
If the RUC's are out, legally the seller has to update (but that never happens), so screw them down what the fine would be if you got rolled by the poopoo - twice that of the RUC cost. (RUC's cost approx $55/1000km)
