Question for mountain bike junkies about a carbon frame.

I'm looking at buying a used 2019 Specialized Stumpjumper S-works. The pics look good but I'm wondering what I should be looking/listening for when I go check it out. Since I wouldn't have the frame warranty being the second owner I want to vet it as much as I can. Any thoughts?
