Crunching in 2nd or 5th
Cambelt flapping (early auto tensioner failure)
Fuel pipes corrode under plastic cover nr passengers side rear arch
Bottom bend on fuel filler neck corrode
Rust at rear arches and sills
Leaky pas lines and pas oil cooler
Leaky crank seals, cam seals etc pretty much all seals
All warning lights come on and go off etc
Check if boot lining is wet.
Sticking rear brakes
Headlight tabs break easy.
Good luck!
they are really good cars! honest!
check for rear arch rust, but they might use less/no salt over there which would mean it's probably fine.
