Known weak spots to check before you buy, with typical Irish garage costs if the problem is there.
Automatic gearbox health · €300–€2,500
Make sure the gear changes are smooth when warm, check for a gearbox warning light and ask if the gearbox oil was ever changed.

Ask when the timing belt and water pump were last done (usually every 160,000 km or 5–6 years). No proof = budget for it.
