It takes about 10mins so I am not sure why you would get the rest of the car checked but not the head studs......... Never hurts to have this done. All the shop has to do is remove the lower valve covers on both sides and take a look. Motors with this mileage commonly have valve guide wear as well......

Head stud breakage is more an age issue than I mileage issue I think as well.

Cheers, and good luck with you purchase. If you get it, post some pics on the technical forum to introduce your car to us!
