Nothing major considering its age. Just wear and tear. Clutch occasionally noisy but garage says not detrimental so does not recommend any action. Occasional warning message about emission control when towing, but disappears after a short time.

The self-levelling suspension is great for towing. Also gives a brilliantly comfortable ride.
