back axel, sill's, rear archs, and floor check for rot, it may have cream under the oil cap but most 8v's have, as long as a 8v starts and runs its normally ok

the early SRI's came as either a 8v or a 16v as i have a v5 documentation for an early corsa 1.4 16v SRI and they SHOULD have early 3 spoke alloys they are a different style to the later corsa SPORT alloys ( basically same car just post 95 / 97 ) but tbf they're pretty ugly...
