Don't know, is it relevant?

Yes. If I had bought a plane brand-new and it had engine trouble on
the first flight, I'd have the aircraft dumped on the doorstep of the
CEO of the manufacturer. There's no excuse for that.

In a used plane, the expectations are different.

This aircraft was a "homebuilt" though probably not the home of the current
owner.
