Default Considering XC90 Purchase

I took a look at a 2004 XC90 T6 this past week. It's got 125k miles and seems to drive pretty well. However, under the hood, I found some interesting things. It looks like the maintenance wasn't done regularly. Just wanted to get a pro's opinion on the topic.

1. power steering fluid low
2. coolant low
3. ATF fluid low
4. engine oil sludge and low oil (see pics). the dip stick also had dried (burned up) oil in the creases/folds of the dip stick.
5. brake maintenance light on
6. ABS light on
7. anti-skid warning on
-- I didn't bring my OBD scanner with me so didn't get a chance to read the codes. I'm assuming there's many more codes aside from what I'd get from the OBD.

With the sludge build up and warning lights, should I simply walk away from the vehicle? Poor maintenance probably = early vehicle failure? Thoughts would be great. Thanks
