Just check everything works, fiddle with climate control, cruise and trip computer. Check for bleeds in the LCD screens and see if all 4 power windows work. Its very common for the rear power windows to stop working. Other than that, just the usual VN stuff.

lift the windscreen and rear window seals up with your finger nails and look for rust stains...holes, they appear in top and bottom right and left hand side and top and bottom centre,listen out for rattles especially if auto,this moving around rattle can be hard to trace,but it usually turns out to be your flex plate,as for the power window issue,it's ussually the master control that handles the rear windows the bugger up,not the rear door switches themselves,don't get me wrong,they may well go,but i have found the majority of the ones i have had to fix,is the master control in the console....
yeah and just basically go over the car looking for anything bent,anything that looks out of place to you personally,both body wise and underneath the vehicle

I didnt mean the switches i meant the power windows themselves. The contacts die because the rear power windows are rarely used.

Thats cool, your post was more helpful than mine anyway. The rust spot one was good advice
