At the worst, unless the car has been tracked or run very hard, only the brake pads will require replacement. The brake discs are quite durable and normally do not experience low mileage problems without hard usage. Track driven cars may have cracking issues around the cross drilling holes or heavy wear. Check that the brake fluid has been replaced with a high quality product within about 2 years.

Clutches also, are durable unless the driver is unskilled or the car has been subjected to numerous clutch drops. They say that you should put $100 in the kitty for every time you rev it up and dump the clutch.

For a 6 year old car, check the accessory drive belt, spark plugs, cabin filter, transaxle oil and coolant to ensure that all is well. Batteries are known to have issues also.

You didn't say anything about the tires, but 6 years is a long time. If the car was easily used, it is possible that the fronts are original. Unlikely that the rears have lasted for this mileage. Think about a complete set of new shoes. Have the tires carefully inspected by someone who knows what he is doing to see if there are any alignment issues.
