Being a front wheel drive vehicle , check for the CV joints, and all the rubber's, drive the vehicle at slow speed on full lock both left and right in a parking area and listen for a grinding sound, and yes the timming belt is due at 100,00klm's, aslong as the vehicle has not been thrashed and cared for the gearbox's and head's are very realiable, the only thing to look for is the valestem seals tend to go, which you will see if the vehicle blow's blue smoke on startup and when accelarating, apart from that they are very trouble free vehicle's, I have had 3 laser's in the past and havn't touched a thing on any of them, just check for the ussuall thing's as you would with any vehicle.
