Hi there,
As Iain has said they are essentially the same car underneath.
I'd just be keen to look at the previous service intervals to ensure that the oil has been changed regularly. These engines can suffer from sludge issues with the oil, as I'm sure you know, so I'd want to make sure that the service intervals have been stuck to.
Going forward I'd change the oil and filter every 6 months or so and run some flushing oil through at the same time.
