Rear subframe bushes, rust at the bottom of the front doors on the inside. bar that, just the usual things you would look for when looking at any car.

This is very true...

If it does bother you, you could look at the ST TDCI, or I believe the titanium x has all the same toys but just not the same looks...?

Look for an oily sump, theres been a few instances of leaky rear crank seals and sump seals.
