With low miles like that the car probably saw a lot of short trips and/or city driving, which is hard on a car.
Check brake pads and change the coolant and brake fluid if not already done - the car is 5 years old now and it's due. While they're at it have the coolant bypass valve replaced proactively - mine just failed at 70K on my 04 Arc.
Lastly, I would have the tranny fluid changed. It takes 2-3 changes in a row to get it all replaced because only half drains out each time. So either have them do it twice and drive the car in between, or have it done every other oil change for awhile.
Other than that it should be good to go.
