depending on age and model.

chasis legs just behind where the front lower arm sits rust throu
if it has a sunroof, see if the drains are blocked, if so check inside the rear 1/4 panels for rust or dampness in the boot.
most rust around rear wiper
front cross member also rusts but it take a while unless it hasnt been looked after


then general stuff, service history, and strange noises, smoke etc same with any car.
