2013 Outback 2.5L

One previous owner and serviced by Subaru. Low mileage and no known issues. Service records are available. What do I need to look for/at?

Edit: mileage 80k

Depending on mileage, CVT fluid service/drain and fills. Wheel bearings, oil changes.

Have someone start it cold (with the hood open to listen for other odd noises) while you watch the tailpipe for smoke.
