Here are some problems. The serpentine belt & idler pulleys (for running accessories incl. water pump, A/C) - is it in good condition, is it noisy. They can fail suddenly. How hard is it to select all gears? (The gear selector has a bush - plastic piece- that may fail & can leave you stranded) There is a modified linkage which may be installed. Is clutch hard to push? (Again there can be problems with the clutch cable) Any sign of oil leaks (one known problem is seal in transmission although should not be a problem for miles you state)
Don't be alarmed by the above. They don't happen too often. Yur car may still be in warranty (4 years or 50000 miles) Check how much is left when you test it. Good luck - you should enjoy this car.
