Test drive the brakes. They should be fine at 60k unless driven hard. Worth getting shoes and/or pads inspected if you buy it, so maybe worth inspection before buying. Some say a look in the brake fluid reservoir is telling. Clean fluid indicates the brakes were worked on. Dirty may mean they were not. Some say the fluid should be replaced every few years - it tends to absorb water and the dirt can get into a bad place and cause expensive trouble.
To add to the other comments about changing the brake fluid. Water in the lines also tends to rot the steel lines and rubber brake parts. Yes change the fluid.
