Welcome and congratulations on the purchase. One thing I would do is if its still got the original locking wheel nuts fitted remove and replace them, they can fail and when they do it can become problematic trying get them off.

Definitely worth getting the gearbox flushed now. Belts due at next service I would guess.

Oh, and welcome. Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Front end looks low Question
I'd check the ride heights In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Simple check for ride height with a tape measure

Centre of wheel hub to the wheel arch, Heights should be circa 460 mm In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Cool ill look into it in the next couple of months. It seems smooth enough but I have read its worth getting done for peace of mind
