Default Toyota forklift with 14k hours

Someone is trying to sell me a Toyota forklift with 14,000 hours. It
does look much better than 14,000 hours and starts fine etc. Still, I
am concerned that it is a lot of hours. How good are those Toyotas and
is it asking for trouble to get a forklift with that many hours?


When was it last overhauled? Items of concern would be hoses (radiator,
hydraulic, brake, etc.), clutch, brakes, seals on hydraulic valves and
cylinders and the like. If it was well taken care of it's probably in
good shape.
