That age suffers from potential lift bolt failure, when the engine is warm at 6,200 RPM the Lift system should engage if it doesn't walk away unless it will be fixed.

Sorry cant shed anymore light on the rest of the car :(

Common faults are limited to corrosion on both the alloys and the Brake Discs. Ensure there are two remote keys with the Car as replacements are very expensive. The best piece of advice I can give you is to buy a face lift model which was introduced in the autumn of 2002. These have a nicer interior/rear lights and the lift bolts were revised at the same time.
