    V70R What to look for b4 buying

    Ok guys, I need a little help.
    Going to pick up a V70R on Saturday, and I need to know what to look out for (dodgey wise). Im not bad at the old mechanics. I'll look for the usual, like rear shock mounts, engine mounts, clutch/gearbox issues, tappety engine. Anything else???? Its got 132k miles with full history, so Im hoping all with be ok. Obviously there should be a spot of rust anywhere on it aswell!
    Thankyou, Goodnight....much love
