Pre-registered Hyundai ix35 - anything to watch out for?

I've just put down the deposit on a pre-registered Hyundai iX35. Although it only has 10 miles on the clock it was registered in April 2011 so I'm guessing it has been sitting on the forecourt for most of that time.

I have already pointed out the rusty brake discs to the dealer, but is there anything else I need to get them to look at before I take ownership of it?

How did that happen? Demand is supposed to be so strong they walk off the forecourt. So make sure it hasn't been crashed or damaged in transit or something like that.
