Early GU (Y61) patrols had an issue with the 5th gear drive splines (usually caused by old farts towing boats/caravans in 5th gear), it's not a major issue but when you test drive be sure to use 5th at 100-110 kph & see if you can feel any gearbox vibration.

The Patrol feels more 'planted' on the road than the 100 series cruiser.

Check all for chassis rust -especially around the back end (if fitted with a tow bar) older models can have cancer from salt water/ boat ramp use.
