Rust. Check to make sure the engine isnt hunting.

Okay common areas should be chassis legs and sills ect? Hunting as in revving earraticly at idle mate? Have the 2.2's got a good name for reliability?

Rust, rattling dual mass flywheel, diff noise on road test or a "clunk" as you go into a roundabout etc, front discs and pads as can be a pain to change if been on for a long time, oil leaks. As long as the engine is ticking over nicely and no funny noises and it drives nicely with good clutch and no major rust anywhere then there normally pretty bullet proof.
