Turbos can go but their £30 and easy to change, poor starting is usually glow plugs or air leaks which are cheap and easy to sort, and they all leak oil. To be honest, even the head gasket isn't expensive, just a pain in the arse!
Does it pressurize?
Does it hold temperature around 80 degrees?
Do the heaters work?
Mayo in oil?
Oil/exhaust smell in rad?
That's what I'd be concerned with
