Help needed in 2nd hand purchase 999 R

in my search for a 2005 999R I found the following bike in Germany:

a ducati dealer is selling a 2005 R with 2.000 miles only for a guy that has been racing. Price is reasonable.
Problems: apparently, the bike had an engine failure and the ducati dealer has changed the pistons, cilinders and the cramshaft under warranty.
Is this a normal failure with such a low mileage?
What kind of driving can produce that?.
What kind of questions or things should I check in the bike to have peace of mind in the future?

The dealer says the engine now is even better than brand new from factory

He says fitting a 57mm termi system will burn the lower fairing and is very loud and tricky to fit...
Thanks for the help
