Buying advice for 2008 Kia Carens

Our Y reg Zafira 2.0 DTi is getting to the point of replacement and I have spotted 2x Kia Carens on offer at a local dealers, both for £6495 each.

The GS has 18,000 miles on it whilst the S variant has 6,500 miles. Is there anything to look out for that could be a problem, such as timing belt/chain etc?
