For context has roughly 250xxx on the clock, wanted to come on here and find out about any potential issues or problems that they can have and what to look for when buying one?

Not sure of the engine on these, as I haven’t worked on one,

But check to see if it’s been serviced regularly,
Signs to look for,
Service sticker
Oil colour
Oil smell
General appearance I guess
If it drives ok,
No unusual noises.

Keep in mind, a car of that age will possibly need a little bit of work done on it

Not an expert on these cars, but here is a general guide on what to check when buying a used car (there is also a video available, and an off-road vehicle guide on their channel)

These are also rebadged Isuzu's so you could head to their forums, or FB page for some info...
