I regularly buy cars with between 50k and 100K miles on them and have not had any non-maintenance issues for the most part any more than you would if you had bought the car new. Most modern cars need very little break/fix service within their first 150,000 miles in my experience, if they are well maintained.

If you are buying at 50K, it should still be under the 60,000 mile/60 month drivetrain warranty so there is some minimal protection there.

In general though, the best advice is to get a mechanic to do a check on it. Most likely it will need tires/brakes. Also, you are coming up on the 60K service which can be expensive since it includes plugs.
