being an 03 reg there shouldnt be much wrong with it. Only thing i can think of is the parcel shelf hinges are intact and the passenger footwell is dry.

start the engine from cold, make sure the timing chain doesnt make the usually loud rattling noise that knackered ones do. also check the gear selection if you roadtest it. worn gear linkages apparent usually.

check the steering rack & column... usually a clunking noise when turning and wheel tries to return to centre position.
