It looks okay from the post, y'know, quite tidy.

Main things to look for are:

1. Documentation (i.e. for regular oil changes, etc)
2. Smoke
3. Smells
4. Noises
5. Tyre wear
6. Overall 'drive' of the car - does it wander, do the brakes feel right, etc?

Check the colour of the coolant.. That can be a really good tell tale sign of the way the car has been looked after. Should be a ribena red.. if its all brown then the car hasn't been serviced regular. Listen for knocking suspension etc.

Should be a gooden tho..

If i was to ever buy another turbo I'd pull the cam breather off and see how much oil its been passing, alot = cracked piston.
