As for OP, I'd specifically look for cosmetic damage inherent to a showroom car: paint damage around the entry & egress points, wear marks on the seats, damaged interior trim, etc.

It's only a 3yo car, so tires / belts / etc. should not be too bad, although I would pay special attention to tire deformation during the test drive (car shaking / bearing-like noise). If the car sat for longer periods without moving at all, they may need changing.

But with all that said, it should be good to go after a small maintenance.

Just curious, how much are they asking for it?

Thanks so much, I'll definitely check that out. They're asking 33000 EUR for the car.
