Smoke from exhaust system.
Arches (for rust etc)
General condition of car (dings, quality of paint work, interior)
Any tappy noises from engine.

And i'm sure more people can contribute.

4 wheels, an engine, some seats, steering wheel, running gear, brakes, doors are a plus

on a serious note

i always check in the oil filler cap for mayo
the coolant bottle for stuff that shouldnt be there

check for rust on arounf the rear wiper (common)

service history is a bonus (make sure miles match mot''s)
