Hi,new To Forum

That car's almost exactly the same spec as mine! Check through the paperwork/reciepts carefully, the cam belt should be changed on time interval as well as mileage, as the rubber perishes. I think it's every 5 years?? regardless of mileage. So, it should have been changed at least once before.

I would do a full fluid change asap (coolant - use toyota 4life red, engine oil, gearbox oil, brake fluid, PAS fluid).
