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.
