Aside from rust here are some tips/things to look for:

-Harmonic balancer> may fail and cause engine damage due to quality problem
-Blower Motor Regulator> if it fails, climate control fan will be affected
-Front Sway Bar Drop Links> not really a serious concern but can be replaced by anybody with knowledge about vehicle

Other things to look for are:
-Front Spring Perches
-Window regulators
-Head Gasket
-Differential Bushing

Good luck!

Cheers for the reply.

They seem pretty solid cars tbh apart from the tin worm.
