I don't claim to be an expert, but the only major problems I'm aware of in these cars is the battery condition. If the IMA light and CEL are not on, I wouldn't be afraid to buy it. Other than that, typical things like check the oil, kick the tires.
EDIT: FWIW, I hate the electric power steering in my HCH1. Above maybe 30mph, it's really stiff, to the point that I would consider a PS delete.
