1. make sure the tray at the front where it joins the cabin isnt rusted.
2. make sure the tray isnt twisted by standing about 5m away from the back and using the mach one eyeball.
3. make sure there is no rust in the chassis (there isnt much of it)
4. plus all the general stuff you look for when buying a car, rust, bog, oil leaks, cooling system, etc etc.

apart from that i cant think of much else which is ute specific. happy hunting.
