Wasn't used much if it's only done 8000 miles in 11 years. Where did it go, and was it one long trip, or a bunch of short ones?
Lack of use can be as damaging to engine and chassis components as too much mileage. If you think it runs well, and everything works, I'd only be concerned about the stuff you can't see easily, like caulking/sealants/rubber seals, and internal/external engine components.
It would be your call at that point.
This link talks about what to do with a vehicle that's been sitting for a long time. It might help you decide.
