Hi guys, what is expected to be needing a change/fix if a 20VT stood unused in a garage for 7 years apart from: tires, belts + water pump, oils, filters, brake pads, discs, sticky calipers, battery? Anything else that I should look out for?

wheel bearings, rubber hoses (coolant, induction and brakes.)
Could be lots of issues, could be lucky and it all be cool!
Is it a bog standard low mileage plus / LE??

I recently worked on an Le that had been stood on a farm for 9 years,as The owner died and the son inherited it .
The dashboard and carpet weren't visible due to mould and water ingress. All it needed was
Cambelt,aux belts+ tensioners as precaution Alternator seized
Brakes all round,calipers were fine 4 tyres Battery Interior removed for de-mushroom treatment A Good service and fluid change.
Everything worked including the bulbs,and it flew through an mot .
I've got to check over one next month that's been stood for 7 years in Cornwall only covering 7000 miles since new.
