It's fairly new so there shouldn't be too much to look for as far a wear items. I'll let the ones who know who they are talking about take it from here. There's always vehicle specific thigs to look for - this widget wears out quickly etc.
Congrats on the upcoming purchase. Sounds like a beautiful ride.

Other than the 1K service which would include changing the oil, and probably a 2nd oil change since the car is 2 years old, what good service history can there possibly be with 2500 miles?
To the OP, take it to a Lotus dealer and have them do a pre-inspection report along with an ecu dump. That should take care of all your questions.
