Brake anti slip is probably the rubber pad on the brake pedal. Not a big repair but may be indicative of high mileage.
As far as I know neither of these would be grounds for failure. |

welcome to the forum 
57 plate was the first year of the puma/tdci models, there were a few "teething" problems with the new model but with 72k they should have all been sorted out. before you buy: have a good look underneath for anything loose, leaking or bent, check under the carpets front, middle and rear - make sure it's all dry (it should not smell like a dogs bed inside). Check the colour of the oil, check power steering fluid and coolant levels - thses should all be fine, but if not, maybe there's been some skimping on servicing. when you drive and brake, it should not pull in either direction, test hi/low & difflock (on grass / gravel). Overall, the 2007-on is a great truck, 6 gears, heater that works etc. expect a suprise from time to time, either get a good warranty or save a little each month. good luck |

IIRC there was a recall for the transfer box output shaft seal which if it fails can cause contamination of the transmission brake. Armed with the VIN number your friendly local dealer should be able to look up what recalls and warranty work have been carried out. Steve.
