    Hi

    Welcome aboard

    In terms of what to look for there is little V8 specific stuff to be honest

    You've mentioned rear discs - they are pricy though the club shop can help there (that's the plug for the shop out of the way)
    Drive train clunk is normal so a tough one to call but check it's not excessive
    Look for uneven tyre wear - though some scrubbing of the tyres can be expected if lot of full lock is used

    Common to other MG ZT's
    Ensure the orange fuel filter clip has been added
    Look for signs of water ingress - damp carpets, damp boot
    Drivers seat wear

    If you test drive it and see the oil light and or battery light flash on - ignore it - they all do that

    Where abouts in the country are you - sure owners local to you will be happy to give you a look around theirs to give you more points of reference


    Good luck

    Cheers
    Colin
