Take a screwdriver to undo the plastic panel on the underside of the hatch. Good bargaining tool and good piece of mind. Check where the "sunshade" is bolted to the hatch as they sometimes rust there too.
Under the windscreen is a pain, and check whether or not it is actually the metal underneath as a lot of the time it is the panel that runs along the windscreen.
Along the top where the hatch meets the roof can be a problem. Its a pain to fix properly if it is. If you can catch it early all is good.
The front corner of the rear wheel arches can sometimes be a problem. Sometimes it bubbles up underneath.
Bottoms of the doors often rust out, check this properly.
My car is currently in a million pieces and I've found rust in a million places I wouldn't think of. My best advice to you is to look carefully, take your time and make sure there is good light.
