What To Look For?

Hi, I am looking at buying a 1998 Corolla and was wondering what to look out for in these and what would their problems be? This is the one I am looking at https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/price-drop98-toyota-corolla-nct-06-16/10707947 Thanks. :)

For 1050 euro it seems a bit high for the age and mileage, though the exterior condition looks good in that picture.

At that age you really have to test drive and check everything works ok, partic the gearbox and that you don't get any engine management lights coming on the dashboard, they can be expensive to cure.

Although cheapish, still do a hpi or similar check to ensure there is no finance outstanding and that its not been written off etc.
