Buying a used Toyota Yaris - what should I look out for?

I'm thinking of buying a used Toyota Yaris T2 1.0-litre (2008). When looking at these cars, is there any problem areas I need to look out for?

See the entry in www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar. From memory the main issues were the waterpump and clutch, in common with the Aygo/C1/107. Waterpump changed and bigger clutch fitted from 2009. But this is still a reasonable price for a good little car.
