The only biggie not mentioned is the water pump.
In the non coolant system, I would deep cycle your fuel delivery. Wife's died about 130k miles. Multiply your average mpg by 5000 and by 7000 that's the expected life span of a fuel pump (gas I don't know about diesel)
To deep cycle fuel system, drive down to single digits to empty. It's the only way to confirm the fuel pump hasn't soft failed.
Both our cars' CPS died about 132k on the clock. If I had an original cps I would buy a replacement and keep it in the trunk. Random stall when coming to a stop is the key symptom.
