congrats! did you find out why the mileage was so low? Lots of short trips is particularly hard on the oil. That said if it was changed frequently, it should be fine. What I would do is confirm it has PCV update #6 and if not, install it. 2003 is the last model year before they came with a sorted out PCV system from the factory.
I would also check vacuum lines and replace with silicone when you get a chance. Those decay, partly with age, though again, heat is probably a factor so a less driven car like yours, they may not yet be too bad, but it is a cheap and easy thing to do.
