    Pre-sale mechanical check- should I be concerned?

    Just had a Transporter checked over as a pre-sale inspection, this is the result, should I be worried?
    What is it worth?

    - Slight oil leak from back of tappet cover area
    - Very slight oil leak from oil pump area
    - Front and rear brakes are new
    - Power steering very heavy, suspect pump or rack issue
    - Intercooler charge pressure hoses are leaking oil slightly on driver's side - Front anti-roll bar bushes have excessive wear
    - Battery - average - 56% life remaining
    - Brake fluid test failed
    - Serpent belt badly perished
    - All tyres are in good condition

    Hi sparkie;
    I used lt35 anj code engine 5 years.
    A chronic problem of fat leakage Lt35.
    Vey nice not having error code from ecu.
    You will receive a used vehicle.
    You Need to calculate and inspect the maintenance costs of the vehicle.
    You need to consider the financial situation.
    in this vehicle, how much of the oil packs in a while after you will still grease.
    Best regrads.
