tranny fluid
brake fluid
oil
all filters
all belts
check shocks and brakes, other suspension components for wear and tear
spark plugs

really, just check anything and everything for wear and tear. if the condition is bad, replace the parts.

^ Agreed.

There's no set check list for that amount of miles other then given it a really good look over.

I would change out the brake fluid and power steering fluid since those never get much attention and do have a service life.

If there's any leaks oil / transmission i would get those fixed and also change the transmission fluid depending on color and smell of it.

Other then that i would take a good look at the suspension since the rubber bushing in the control arms in the front along with the bushing in the back axle might have gone bad by now.

If it's the stock motor i would listen to make sure the timing chain isn't making any noise from worn down guides. If they are i would get that look at if not then good to go.

205k or 250k? Just pointing out you have a discrepancy between your title and the post...
