Can't help you with that one as I have an S4 with problems. Plenty of people on here can though. Welcome to the club.

check the following:

1. service history: if not complete, when was the last service done? - was it a 'belt' - or 12,000 mile service?
(service intervals are every year or 6,000 miles regardless, and every 2 years it is a 'biggie' or belt service)
2. check fork seals
3. check rear loop arm (as looking at a 'carbie') - this must not squeak, as joints can do this prior to snapping if not maintained.
4. check all lights, older bikes have a habit of bulbs blowing, particularly the rear lights, inc stop light
5. General wear & tear like you would any other bike - chain, sprockets, brakes etc etc

Good Luck - and happy shopping!

As you're in Alton you could always ask Tom or Andy at Snells if they could give it the once over for you, very accomodating people who will always try to help.
