MK3 8valve on a 97 P plate - anything to look out for?

Just driven a rather nice 97 P reg MK3 8v with just under 100K on the clock. Apart from a rattle exhaust heat shield and a dodgy grille and front bumper (accident damage) it was OK.

Anything I should be looking out for?

EDIT - Just in case it makes any difference it's a 5 door with AC, no sunroof, fully stamped service book, (but no receipts for anything), full MOT, no tax and tyres that are on the way out.

Cheers

Paul

Rust around rear door pillars and also tailgate.

ABS is plagued with intermittent faults. Check the ABS light goes out and just make sure the bulb hasn't been removed.

Otherwise usual suspects.

BTW exhaust heatshield rattle is common with an easy fix.
