I think in general the 216 is pretty well sorted.
The Harmon Kardon amplifier (if fitted) can be problematic and expensive to fix.
It uses ABC suspension so it's important the fluid has been regularly changed along with the filter.
Check all struts for oil leaks.
Check all hydraulic lines for corrosion.
That's about it I think.
