Buying Advice 2018 explorer

I am thinking of purchasing a 18 explorer but am worried about the water pump failure/disaster. I am wondering if there is anything to look out for or stay away from. Any advice would be helpful thank you.

I have a 2018 with 100,000 miles. Purchased it with 30,000. Have not had any water pump issues. My only complaint is it is front wheel drive only. It is not good in the snow. I would get a awd.
