look out for cracked pillars (next to the doors) smoky engines especially on c16xe engined ones (L and some M plates) general rust and straightness of the chassis.

Leave tick over for a good 10 minutes til engine is warm then give it a rev to see if there is any smoke out of the exhaust, if yes it will need a new set of valve stem seals
