Definitely do transmission oil & filter. Probably suss out the spark plugs and leads too, they're due for a change at that mileage (if they haven't been changed already). Also, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and you could throw in a cabin air filter which is often neglected.

Coolant too, but I'd suss out the condition of the radiator hoses first. If in poor condition replace those before doing a coolant change/flush.

Diff oil, throttle body clean, PCV clean, transmission (filter if auto), serpentine belt.

Get it up on stands and inspect all bushings, boots, exhaust hangers, brake pads.

Also look for loose nuts and bolts, basically put a spanner on everything you can get to.

As stated above, you really should change everything that has a fluid, and inspect everything else.

Prioritise though, give everything a good inspection and then go from there.

Don't forget to use new washers .
