How's the service history? They normally get driven hard so need to be well maintained. There bullet proof if looked after.

Knocking from rear suspension, rusty front wishbone arms, subframe and radiator carrier. Harder to check is rust behind the front wheel arch liners.
There was a recall on the wishbones so they may have been replaced.
Then it's the usual subaru checks. Rocker cover gaskets weep, belts and rollers need replacing and the radiator core can collapse (look for bulging at the sides).
Wrx 4 pot callipers can seize. All blobs are at an age where the clutch should have been done.
Drop links and arb bushes may be a bit loose. Bushes generally may be a bit tired.
None of which is very expensive to put right, the core of the car is very well put together.

You should check out southeastscoobies.co.uk too, plenty of folks from that neck of the woods on there (and here). Some might even know the car, so get some pics up!
