What do I need to know...?

Im thinking of buying a Cupra. Will be an early one, just wondering what I need to look for when buying one.
Sorry if this has been posted before, search engines and myself do not get on!

1. Yer wet carpets or damp smelly
2. central locking and power windows all work inclucing remotes
3 all dials on dash work
4 boot lock unlocks and opens
5 air con actually works
6 drive it to see if any warning lights come on and drive ir from COLD
make sure it is cold by touching the block!
7 oil is clean
8 it does not overheat when it is hot and fan cuts in
9 no oil in expansion tank
10 brake condition juddering etc pad thickness
11 look down the sides of the car for signs of repairs/orange peel etc
just look at everything basically, if your going to but a nice 2ndhand car
make sure its a good one if indoubt get it inspected by rec/aa
