Is there a simple way to check it out, if its up on a lift?
Are there any other items of real importance expense to look out for please?

To check if the front angle gear is ok the front wheels must turn when you manualy turn the propshaft under the car ..
To check AWD get all 4 wheels on wet grass or sand or loose stones and get someone to watch as you pull away with full power , all 4 wheels should spin for a moment before the car sorts itself out . If just the front wheels spin , possibly a problem with the haldex clutch unit but unlikely ..
