Hi from England

My name is Barry & I live in England. Got the chance of buying a 1997 Cherokee with the 2,5litre turbo diesel engine. Maybe go to see it on Friday morning. Any things to look out for when viewing this car eg. known mechanical issues or areas susceptible to rust etc.. please?
The car has covered 94,000mls

Many thanks for the welcomes.

"Head gasket had already been sorted..."?
I take it you are advising me that this has been an issue with the 2.5litre diesel engine?
The one I am considering is a standard car without any suspension modifications. I will put a dealer photo up of it
