The completeness of the service history and reputation of the servicing garage will give a fair idea of the life left within. Certainly a well cared for bus would like as not have plenty of life left at that mileage.
What engine does it have?

It's a T32. 102ps it says full service history so will ask when it's viewed
OK, so a fairly vice free engine, which is good news.
Presumably a manual box, most likely 5 speed? The 5 cog box isn't the strongest in the sense that it's torque limit is fairly low and half-arsed tuning can be too much for them, but on a standard engine that's not really an issue.
A T32 has the biggest payload capacity by weight and people generally wont pay extra for a T32 on a new van unless they're planning to use it, so at risk of stating the obvious check the rear suspension isn't on its knees.
Best of luck!
