if the plate number starts with "Z", 1st registered in the years 2007-2009 then you may want to investigate further.
lahat ng sinabi ni jc above those are all signs of a newly flooded vehicle. 3 years after ondoy i doubt it if you will still see those signs. especially if you are going to buy from a 2nd hand dealer those things would have been taken cared of already. i only see 1 thing that is still a possibility, and that is item 5, rusting on seat frame (and other steel parts under the dashboard).

* - not necessarily.... can be caused by others.
The easiest way to tell is to poke under the dashboard and in hard to reach spots and look for signs of mud and sediment. There are areas where it's almost impossible to remove mud.
Unfortunately, if it was a clear-water flood, then it'll be harder to tell.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
Why do you want it removed? Sa Sport version ba ito?
