It should have:

1. Latest rear end (sloping number plate and pepperpot lamps).
2. Latest boot lid (opens nearly vertical, concealed hinges).
3. Latest front end (but without faired-in covered headlamps).
4. Wiper motor under the dashboard (not under the bonnet).
5. Probably has LCD mileage counter (but may still have mechanical drums).

It might have factory 16" front wheels, although I think they may have appeared later, on the very last models.

Any more for any more?

Thanks Jules, but my budget is limited to £10,000

Presumably this 2000 plate made it into your budget? A 2000 should be around 11-12k so I'd guess he knew something was wrong and priced cheaply hoping people would think they'd got a bargain.
A CAT D may be OK - bodywork is very expensive to repair, but remember it may be more extensive and will also be much harder to sell on later.
I think you'd be better off looking for a sound earlier car TBH like mine;)
