They’re a great car and quite reliable if looked after.

Things to note would be the 100k miles service although at this stage I’d say if the car has no record of the supercharger being serviced then factor that in. The expansion tanks on them have a tendency to go so check condition and overall coolant system.
I would highly recommend a 17% reduction pulley so a bonus if that’s been installed.

Check around the rear lights for rust and water in the boot. The rear window washer have a tendency to get blocked so check this is operational. If fitted with xenon headlights make sure they’re working.

I’m sure there’s more. Obviously check the usual things as with any car inspection but the above are specific to the R53.
