What engine/gearbox? What price are they asking?

Presuming it's a 2.4D/D5, open her up for a look at the condition of the swirl arm link, any residue around the injectors and the intercooler. Regards the swirl arm link, google it if your unfamiliar so you know what to look for - it's an easy fix if the arm has come loose, but is a potential bargaining chip. If possible start her from cold and check she idles steadily around 700rpm. Check the handbrake isn't 'flimsy' and doesn't require too much travel i.e. armpit! Check the hu850 cd changer works - these are known to crap themselves.
