Default NEED HELP on 2018 991.2 GT3 DME (PDK)

Looking to pick up this car w/ 11k miles. Is DME a must as part of inspection? How would i know if car been track? According to carfax, both front and rear brake pads were replaced @ 6500 miles, is that normal for 991.2? My previous 2011 GT3 had 5k miles and brakes were like new. Thank you in advance for help

DME won't help.

That's heavy use on the pads. Reasonable to assume it has been driven aggressively - probably track. If you really care look for evidence of rubber in the wheel wells. It can be cleaned out but often is missed. FWIW - these cars are meant to be tracked. It's not a blemish.

Front pad early replacement meant heavy braking . Rear pad early replacement is more than likely caused by tracking with traction control engaged.

The DME report will show how many times the engine has hit range 1. There may or may not be hits in range 2. A high number in range 1 would indicate some hard driving as would cracked rotors with the indicated miles.
