..- Bad tie rods, and suspension upper front control arms always go bad
sooner or later because of poor design and/or materials.
..- Wheel bearings. Very expensive considering what they are.
..- Turboes and vacuum lines often going bad. You might want to check boost.
..- Water coolant temp sensor goes bad very often.
..- Run an OBD diagnostic test to check for any fault codes.
..- Windscreen is of unusually low quality, so check it's in perfect
condition.
..- Have a look at brake rotors and pads.
..- Test drive it to check damper status.
..- Look for any leaks.
