The bottom ends are known to fail, I'd be checking for any unusual noises, good service history etc. Clutch is a big expense so good that it has been done. Wheels corrode like nobodys business, a big heavy nosed car needs good tyres so make sure they aren't nankangs!! Brakes are shite, they are exactly the same as what is fitted to the 1.8 so don't be surprised if they are a bit unresponsive.
