2016 Mazda 6 2.0 Petrol - what to check for?

I understand the diesels in these were a weak engine but most of my mileage is short spins so a petrol would suit me better. Any advice on what to look for when viewing a low mileage second hand one?

good naturally aspirated engines no turbos less stuff to break.
yes it’s slow if you’re used to vw turbo petrols but still a good solid car
New skyactiv petrols are a lot of fun to drive . Tested recently and quite liked how it drives
