the weak point on the dti is the fuel pump, they can fail around the 80k mark although running out of fuel will more than likely ruin it first, so chances are its had at least 1 change in its past. they can be quite expensive to replace depending on what version of the diesel engine it has fitted, 2001/2 was about the change over period between both versions. have a good look at the chassis for rust especially behind the rear bumper as thats more likely to go first if at all. check the 4wd system engages correctly by pushing the 4x4 button on the dash .... it should flash for a short period before showing a solid green light & the reverse to disengage it again, dont drive it in 4wd unless on slippery surfaces, you can check it by driving in a straight line for a few yards as that should be enough for the 4wd system to engage & disengage apart from that pretty much the same checks as you would on any other car. if maintained well the dti can clock up high miles, i think 600k has been achieved by 1 member/
