Cooper buying advice

[raceboy]

Probably leaving it a little late as looked at a car tonight and the Mrs likes it, but anything I should check before pulling the trigger?
Car is an 05 Cooper, done 63k, quite nice spec, and in better condition than some of the others we've seen.
Not exactly over flowing with service history receipts but a stamped up book, and a few bits of paperwork, and as part of the deal a full service and brake fluid change, no bills for anything big in the file so assume nothing 'big' has gone wrong.....yet.

Cheers, back for another look tonight so will have a prod at those bits.

Well it seemed fine, so it got bought.
It's a 10 year old car so I'd expect a few squeaks and rattles but its got less than the Boxster it's sort of replacing.
