If you do a general search you'll find the most common probs.
Droplinks, bushes,lazy electrics,Tip box probs, rusty engine mounts, noisy tappets and the usual general wearing items.

Get it on a ramp before you purchase and get a reliable mechanic to go over the car - any small issues he finds (bushes, droplinks, tyres, brakes etc) should help you to reduce the asking price on the car - money well spent.
