A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for rust or damage. Particular attention to the underbody and exhaust system is advisable, as these areas often reveal hidden corrosion that can affect long‑term reliability.
