    rust under mouldings at the back windows, battery tray and spare wheel ,all electrics are working as they are common for wiring problems, cracks in k frame on the rear IRS

    make sure the rear main seal isnt leaking, no other leaks like trans, steering etc. yeh like vq rat said, make sure all electrics are all still working cos its a 15+ yr old car and rust behind the rear garnish, my vq was starting to develop rust behind there where the screw holes are... umm and the boot leak, not too hard to fix though, cant think of much else
