2015 golf 90tsi

[H8T0W8]

Hi guys, I am looking at Purchasing a secondhand 2015 90TSI 90000klms. During the inspection I found a loose intake bolt, loose to the extent it had nearly fallen out. What could this be an indication of? Anyone experienced this before?
What else should I be looking for with an inspection?
I have never owned a golf before but very familiar with the VAG family having a Transporter, Audi A6 and previously a Skoda.

Any help would be appreciated.

Which bolt? If it’s the air intake cover, likely not properly replaced as part of servicing?

The very end bolt highlighted in the photo, not sure why this would be removed during a standard service, is it a sign of something more sinister?

I would not put yourself through wondering what it is all about - the doubt has already been put there. Just keep looking - there are plenty of 90TSi out there and one will come up before you know it.
