Buying used Red worth it?

I was thinking of buying used Red groupset as my Bianchi is unable to put Di2 (I would have to connect wires outside the frame).So Red/Force is the only thing that I would like to put on that bike.
I've found used Red,covered about 6500km with changed chain,hoods and cassette.Does that groupset has enough life in itself for next 2-3 years of riding? As I know that SRAM was problematic in terms of used.

I recall the rear mech pivot was redesigned? Right? What year was this groupset new?
And what state is the chainring in?Ben

that's not many km, especially if the chain/cassette have been changed
the only risky bit is if the rear mech pivot is worn, not sure if/when they changed design but i've had well over 30,000km out of the original version, loads of wet rides, i stripped it down to clean/oil it once as it got a bit stiffmy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
I think it is 2013,but he doesn't know about any pivot redesign.
I would take the group without chainset as I'm using Q-Rings with my K-Force chainset atm.
And the cables are changed also0
