Haha, looking at the top of the motor won't tell you much. Tires and brake visual inspection. Visual inspection of all fluids. Are they clean or contaminated? Does it idle smooth, shift smooth, drive smooth? Any ticking/tapping noises? These things will tell you if the car has been reasonably well maintained. A PPI will give more in-depth info. Service history and maintenance records are golden.
