If properly maintained, there would be no issues. The WRX and XT uses the same engine and tranny with differences in tuning only.
If the car is regularly used, the previous owner may have changed the CVT fluid, front suspension bushings, brake pads, and tires. Unless of course, the car was sparingly used (garage queen). Check the tires for the manufacture date. You need to change tires if they are more than 5 years old already.

Yes, their bushings are not that good. I had to change mine twice before it reached 40k kms. Then, I switched to aftermarket bushings. Ran it for 35k kms so far. No problems so far.

Big turbo, exhaust, tune
68k kms
replaced power steering pump at 40k
major work at 50k kms/10 years old:
replaced radiator (started leaking at the plastic end tanks), did thermostat and water pump at the same time to be safe
also did ball joints and tie rod ends
replaced shocks and top-mounts (fitted coil-overs) at 65k kms
recharged a/c at 68k kms. o-rings needed replacement, but everything else (evaporator, etc) was intact.
planning on doing timing belt and tensioner at 70k. already have the parts.
of course! the former was more enlightening than reading the Holy Book. mom loved the Ten...
