Well ask if it has been done and if they say it has ask for the receipt. Also check the back wheels for any camber. If there is it means a new axle. When the cars running listen for a squealing noise. If you can hear one push the clutch in and see if it goes away. If their isnt a noise push the gear stick to the right and see if it makes a squealing noise. If their is one its the release bearing which is a new clutch.

have a look at the cam belt if it looks new-ish leave it but if not get it changed you dont want that snapping on your way home from work (speaking from experiance)
