rust = around rear wiper hole, edges around front wings and bonnet also the B piller sometimes cracks where the door sometimes covers it.
check when timing belt was last done
just give it a road test, on full lock if there is a clicking noise like a horse galloping noise its the CVs that are worn.
check it goes into gear smoothly as the linkage can get worn.
Basically usual stuff to look for.
