Front wheel bearing and hub Options

[Dagon]

Hey guys,
my friend is looking at buying a Celica right now, and the front wheel bearing and hub have recently been replaced. We are just wondering if this is a sign that the car has been aggressively driven / abused? and are more suspension components also likely to go, e.g. the other wheel bearing/hub, or other parts of the super strut suspenstion??

It's a 1996 TRD Celica SSII, Japan import.

thanks in advance for help/advice

how many miles/km's are on the car? typically just a sign of wear with higher mileage. i'm replacing my front wheel bearing today actually, haven't driven the car too hard it's just had a lot of miles on it and gotten worn out.

Not many miles at all, just 55,000. It's a 96 car. Strange that it should go so soon.
