Welcome to the forums. Youve alrewdy heard from the best regarding 4bd1's and the differences between the lt85 and lt95, so all I have to add is encouragement, having now been through this myself in the US a few times, I can tell you to do as outlined to check the engine and, if for any reason you eventuslly run into trouble, they're easy to rebuild (relatively) and will then go another 500k+ miles (yes miles, 500k kms is just getting warmed up if properly cared for). I've had the pleasure of owning 3 (1 county and 2 perenties), have rebuilt one engine (thanks to the guidance of those here) and am in the process of rebuilding a spare I also acquired for ten years from now when I might need another.
I've driven them all over the country from florida to the great lakes to Yellowstone and back to Appalachia and have had nearly no issues, and expect you will too so long as properly maintained.
Again, welcome to the forum.
