gear lingage is quite common, squeeking of brakes if your reversing. general rattles and clunking noises. Steering rack, has it had the recall for the abs?

cant think of anything else, check the usual. Have heard of some having white stuff under the oil cap, but check tyres etc. Make sure its not been ragged by some scrotty 19 year old. If its on around 15k miles should still have the original wheels.

hope this helps.
