Buying a used XT?

I am going to look at a used 2004 XT and just want your input
on what to look out for other than the usual service history, underside
damage from off roading etc...

The Forester I am looking at is on 114,000 miles with a supposed
new clutch fitted recently.

All replies greatly appreciated. I am also taking a experienced Subaru mechanic
with me but all useful info means forewarned forearmed.

Timing belt, water pump, headgaskets.
Water pump and timing belt should have been done.
Headgaskets could be going and it would be good to get it checked if they haven't been done (pressure test).
