Your kilometres are low, if you think of it as an average distance travelled every year. 10,000 km per annum isn’t much and less than the average which I think is 14,000km.

Do you have much in the way of service history?

The main thing to concentrate on is preventative maintenance. Making sure nothing goes wrong that causes much bigger problems. I would be checking the cooling system and lubrication. Belt, pulley, water pump, hoses, thermostat, coolant condition. Change the oil regularly and next time you do see if you can get a borescope into the sump to see how much sludge, if any, is sitting in there. Visually check the pickup. Ditto through the filler cap and into the rocker cover.

The 1KZ-TE is a good engine but they need looking after as they get older and there’s lots of good information online about them.
