Default Advice on 2018 A7

Found a 2018 A7 Premium Plus with 63k miles that I'm interested in and wanted to ask what to look at specifically.
Packages: Comfort Seating, Driver Assistance, S line sport, 20-inch Black Optic, Audi Beam - Rings

Coming from a D3 A8L 4.2 at 115k miles (I put the last 80K on her) and all my own maintenance for the last four years.

Besides pulling service records, scanning with VCDS and all the normal used car checks (long time car guy and worked in the car business) is there anything else to focus on?

From reading here I found the following common issues, but wondered at what miles/time these normally need attention?
PCV
Water pump and thermostat
timing cam tensioners
motor mounts
wheel bearings

TIA

Well I picked her up last night. Granted I only have ~60 miles under my belt, but WOW what an amazing car!
