just check for the obvious mate.
make sure theres no knocking from steering, wishbones, barings, etc...
make sure theres no whining from the gear box
check the brakes (make sure they work, lol)
check the springs
check the shockers (bounce on the front wings and let go for the car and it should settle straight away)
check for oil leaks
check that theres no white gue in the rocker cover
check the underneath on the radiator cap
make sure that the keys work
check the paperwork to make sure its all legit
cant think of anything else, hope that helps
