Besides looking for any icon that just suddenly lights on the instrument panel. Pull over on a safe side on the road and check the ff: Raise the oil dip stick and see if you can find droplets of water on it or if the oil level is unusually very hiigh, it will be obvious since water and oil don't mix. Open the engine air filter box and pull out the air filter, check if it is wet. If you find water on those mentioned, then don't bother starting the engine, have your car towed to the nearest mechanic.

The most important for me are the bearings, caliper of brakes... Basta pangilalim.
Oil and fluids are not much of a concern unless you crossed hood deep waters... Then again, I'll check the ecu and other electronics first.

Water ingress to engine seldom happens not unless the entry is in your air intake, but at considerable amount of water ingested would result to an airlock.
Checking breather tubes(axle, trans, transfer) would be more concerning as these vents usually are placed in confined spot. Damage due to water ingress on these parts would be almost hard to notice untill the day weird noises are heard, and by that time its too late.. These breathers are usually located just below headlight level.
Basing water fording capability on air intake alone is risky. Most cars nowadays tho at hood level intake have resonators as low as the radiator and these resonetors are not totally sealed.. Pickups and most SUV's do get the advantage because of air intake inside fenders, plus there are lots of aftermarket snorkels to further raise the intake.

I got this from ANC. This is gutter deep floods diba? Vios should not have any problems after crossing that?
It's only now that I realised that the muffler gets submerged in water at gutter deep flooding.
