you dont say which engine is fitted or model or year;) check for service history,check when cambelt was last done (40,000 mile intervals or 4 years which ever comes first).Mayo on dipstick and test drive it :y

Depending on year etc, do a pedal trick etc and see if any codes show up and check the tyres and see if there is any obvious signs of uneven wear :y
