I wouldn't worry too much about anything, really....
If the oil looks clean, and to the correct level, I would fill her up with premium fuel (or standard fuel with additive) and take her on motorway blast which will also help clean the PDF and fully charge the battery.
After that I would just drive the car normally.
Also:
1. I would inspect the brake discs to ensure that they only have surface rust and that it is fully removed after a few applications of the brakes, and that there's no pitting or persistent rust.
2. I would inspect the tyres to ensure thet are correctly inflated, and have no cracks or flat spots.
3. I would check when the following were last replaced: air filter, fuel filter, ATF, brake fluid, and when they are next due.
I've already driven the car on a long journey the stop start only worked once. I can only presume that its a weak battery or is not sufficiently charged for stop start to work
Everything else seems to be fine, although I plan to replace the brake fluid and power steering fluid
Re the power steering fluid is it 236.3 spec the correct one for this vehicle?
