What should I look out for in buying a Honda CR-V?

Hi, I am thinking about getting a Honda CR-V, 2007 petrol model as I do little mileage but need some flexability for kids and dirt track capability (nothing too taxing!) as I do some photography. What should I look out for when considering this vehicle?

Thanks in advance.
