The filler neck on the fuel tank can rot out, other than that just you usual secondhand car stuff for a vehicle that is nearly 20 years old.

Check for rust on the battery tray under the (scuttle tray?). Mate of mine has had a few and said that rust there can penetrate very far and is difficult to fix.

Your looking at a Polo,
















check for holes

Have a look for buyers' guides on clubpolo.co.uk or polo3.co.uk.

The fuel tank itself is also well known for rot.

cracks in the welds at the bulkhead / chassis leg junction iirc.
