Pre-Purchase Vet Check

What exactly should your vet do when they check out a horse you are buying? I've heard everything from x-rays of their feet to checking teeth/conformation, etc. But what is the general list?

They check teeth so that you know the horse is as old as it's supposed to be, and that they are aligned well and not causing problems. Also conformation and lameness- because you don't ride lame horses. I think the Vet would notice other things too that you may not have been aware of.
