Full disclosure – I am a Yacht Broker…
Hopefully, your Agreement of Sale is the standard YBAA form and your broker has added a few “extra” conditions beyond a survey. I always include an optional mechanical survey so that should you need to really dig into the engine, you can. Also as Joe indicated, a rigging inspection/survey should also be called out if desired. The reason for these additional “call-outs” is that there is always the potential for at least some disassembly (taking out injectors to view) and without the wording, the seller and their broker can legitimately refuse. The good things about the YBAA agreement is that you are not committed until you sign an Acceptance of Vessel. Until it is signed, you can walk away and get your deposit back (less any costs that you are responsible for and haven’t paid such as the haul-out for the survey).

For a quick engine check, make sure the engine starts and runs normally and the oil is just oil, no coolant mixed in. Specific to a Landfall 38, you might want to crawl back by the fuel tank and make sure there is no diesel seeping out of it.
