If it's nice, I would jump all over it given the low mileage.

That said, it makes no sense that the timing belt was not replaced at the same time as the water pump.

All 4 struts replaced in 2016 and again in 2018, with only 60k miles on car?

Are you saying that the timing belt was never changed? If that is the case, regardless of condition you might consider some adjustment on price as there will certainly be additional issues/repairs to be done that you are not aware of and now the timing belt.
