I put the deposit down on it and will be test driving soon.

Similarly for short journeys with my ex we'd always use her Fabia and my cars would be used on longer journeys. I totally take the point though that it's difficult to know unless you actually speak to the original owner.

That was a bit of a worry. Looking at the history and speculating 6 years may mean two PCP agreements of 3 years. The first one took the car to about 7k then the next was to about 19k. So 1st driver didn't drive it often and the second driver was at about 4k a year. The second driver did have it on private plates hopefully meaning it was looked after. The first driver did spec it with some very nice specs for a car that they were not going to keep so similarly would hope the engine was treated how it should have been.
Do you have any idea what to look for in the test drive to identify future issues?
