Welcome to Allpar. Lower control arm bushings have been common, like every 35K-40K miles? Some climates and driving conditions have worse luck than others.
Wheel bearings may once or twice in a lifetime. If a car is eating wheel bearings consistently, there may be a missing or broken ground strap from the body to the front struts.
Timing belt/water pump/idler pulley is every 100K maintenance.
The Watt's link in the rear can wear ~ every 40K-50K also.
Like any used (10 year old) car, you will need to put some maintenance into the vehicle. Drive it for unusual noises or sensations. Follow the recommended maintenance schedules in the owners manual. When faced with a vehicle with an unknown past, change all fluids and go over it with a fine, tooth comb. They generally hold up well and are useful, practical, comfortable, fairly economical every day vehicles.
