Buying a s/h bike with shimano motor, what to look for?

[STATO]

Hey all, I am about to go look at a s/h bike with shimano e7000 and wondering what i should be looking at to check condition?

Its done 700 miles so not a lot. Obviously general bike condition is a good indicator, but what about motor specific issues. Dont want to but a lemon someone is offloading because it throws an error all the time.

I already have an e7000 so can compare its smoothness and sound.
Check for play in cranks.
Check for play on drive sprokect.
Battery health on the app?
Does the app hold any error logs? not even done that on mine.

Thanks for any advice.

A bike with another brand of motor would be a good start. I am now on my 4th motor in 3 years (approx. 11000km). They are not serviceable and even though I like the way they ride my next bike will NOT have Shimano motor.
