The door cards may be coming away from the bottom of the front doors as they are not held on particularly well.
The engine may sound a bit rattley, its usually nothing to worry about as the engine cover often vibrates.
The OE back boxes rot for fun so listen carefully for blowing, and be careful of wear on the drivers seat. The seam on the bolster loses its leather quickly.
Hope that was some help!
Is there anything that ISNT wrong with the 206 GTi
