Default Buying an S2 with around 55k on the clock - what to check?

Right, the day is finally dawning - going to have a look at a S2 at the weekend with around 55k on the clock...

Apart from making sure that mileage is genuine - what do i need to check for?

Obvious things like emulsified oil on the oil cap etc...

First time buying a forced induction car - what do i need to look for to see signs of engine wear/turbo wear etc?

Where do i need to check for rust?

What can i do to try and make sure i'm not buying a shed?

Cheers
