This is certainly not normal on any CSE, especially one with low mileage. The springs and dampers last very much longer than this as a rule. I'd just start by checking the tyre pressures, and setting them to 35 psi all round.
As far as I know absolutely all CSEs have a rear anti-roll bar (19mm) but you can check it's there by just looking. Taking off anti-roll bars seems to be done occasionally on 900s but not on 9000s, and I imagine you are looking for a stock specification anyway.
If you buy the car, renewing the bushes on the rear bar will help understeer more than doing the fronts, but clearly it's worth doing anything that's tired or sloppy, including the "butterfly bushes" on the front suspension arms. This is relatively easy, and cheap, to do. Some people like to put poly bushes on the rear anti-roll bar and OEM rubber on the front one.
