Off the top of my head (and not necessarily for Viggens only):
Look for::
- leaks around the power steering pump
- leaks (dry or wet) between the head and block
- oil leak from the cam end plug (driver side-forward)
- dried coolant sprayed on the underside of the hood near the expansion tank
- temp gauge not going up and down in big swings during a drive
- slap-knocking sound from front suspension over bumps
- loud clunking sounds from the act of shifting gears (also grinding when shifting in reverse)
- shaky steering wheel at 50-70mph during acceleration or braking
- cracked and/or dry rotted rubber vacuum hoses
- pinging/knocking during hard acceleration
- bent or curb damaged wheels
That's about all I can remember. It's probably a good guide for inspecting most used cars.
