Rust on the bottom of the doors, arches, inner wings, boot, etc etc. 
 
If its been XE'd, check that its been seam welded, seen one where the bulkhead came away from the rest of the car   
 
Usuall stuff, rust mainly.

my version 
 
rust under boot seal, inner wings, around front struts, front cross member, underneath headlights, rear arches, bottom of doors, bottom of front wings. 
 
xe should defo be stitch/ seam welded in engine bay and even better have the strengthening plates in as well.
