well tappets check tyre ware also check seats see if they wobble if they do the car has been hammered about also put the car into gear and ssee how much it wobbles if not much the gearbox isnt that worn if it shakes like its jelly then its O_o and move on

check brake ware

check if there is any oil in the water if there is head gasket has blown

general stuff really not advised over say 75 - 80 tho

full service history :)

hope it helps
