I plan to shake to shake the wheels to check the bearings, ensure the heat-shield/skid-plate is secure, inspect drivetrain and exhaust bolts to ensure they’re secure and inspect suspension. Any other points of interest you think I should keep an eye out for?

Cheers!
To change the transmission fluid, there is a plastic panel that is removed. It is held in place with 7-8 bolts. If bolts were left off, it could be flapping until air pressure from increasing speed holds it in place. Let us know what you find.
