✓On early cars, ask whether the steering lock module has been updated or bypassed because failure can leave the car immobilised.
✓Manual cars should have a consistent clutch pedal hot and cold; any softness or refusal to disengage gears is a warning sign.
✓Inspect tyres, brake discs and forged alloys carefully for evidence of hard track use or repeated kerb damage.
