at 30k miles and just 3 years old (maybe... you didn't say what year the car was), I can't imagine you will find anything significant.

I like the comments on the wheel inspection, roof, and leaks of any kind.

It should idle smooth as butter, if it kind of stutters around at idle then it may be in need of an intake valve cleaning.

Get in a safe area of straight road fully warmed up,
Put it in Sport+ mode
Cruise along in third gear at about 2,000 rpm,

Smash the throttle all the way to the floor (hold on and don't panic! )

The car should accelerate something fierce, do this for a few seconds as long as you are in a safe area.

If the car does this with no warnings, bad hesitations, etc, you are good to go!
