Check the engine idle from cold to hot whole period..

if theres no problem you can trust the engine at least..

Check for irregular noises in engine bay..

if possible find a lift and examine under the car.. check the whole area for anything that dont seem normal..and also check for rust..

Check the bolts ,nuts for wear and some extra work..

if possible have a compression test  when the engine is cold..This will give good idea about the engine..

if possible have a vacuum test..

check the wear on steering , it must be compatible with the mileage of car..

if there are rare or no stone chips on the bonnet its painted..

check the dead pixels on the display..

if its smells sweet (or coolant) inside the car when the heater working heater matrix may leak which is a long job.. a guaranteed method is add some new antifreeze for coolant and if it smells alcoholic inside the car it also may indicate leak..

it may have been owned by a drunk, cem ;D ;)
