I could give you a long list, but it would be best if you found the local rotary guru & have him check it before buying anything.
Needs to be check bumper to bumper. You can take the serial number to a Mazda dealer, have them run eMDCS. This will list all
warranty repairs & most important is if the car is branded.

Usually they leak oil at the metering pump, below the oil filter housing, the oil pan gasket, & at the rear housing where the oil cooler line attaches. Make sure the car has never run hot. Check regular wear items.
