Water gauge temp test

Water gauge temp test
Hey guys.
Just bought a 93 240.
Its a good little thing, but I’m still figuring out it’s issues.
Ive noticed the water temp gauge barely moves off the lowest position. See pic attached.
I saw the previous owner replaced the radiator. In the boot there was also some chemi-weld.
Im concerned the radiator replacement was a quick and easy fix for a bigger issue and perhaps the chemi-weld is a safety measure in case it happens again.
My question is - how can I check the water gauge on the gauge cluster is representing what’s going on in the engine?
i live in Australia so ambient temperatures can climb pretty high so this is a concern driving a car designed for European conditions.
Anyone have any guides of how to check?
This is where the gauge sits - irrelevant of highway driving or bumper to bumper city in the summer.
