Default Looking to buy an S4 question mileage

I am looking at an S4 good service history belts have been changed etc. The car has always been stock and has 75,000 miles. How are these engines at this mileage. I will probably chip it for sure so I am wondering if it would still be safe? Anything that I should look for. Thanks

Motor itself is very tough, internals and head sealing is top notch, turbos vary.
