The things you have listed are all basic unknowns of when or if it will break. I would be more concerned about engine mounts, front end repair, radiator mounts, etc, for a 2500 mile car with a salvage title that had the front corner crunched. Going to a salvage title typically requires damage in excess of ~75% of the value of the car. I know that varies by state and insurance company, but seems like a good rough estimate.
From my own experience, I parked our brand new (less than 9 months) 05 Corolla into a guardrail. It had less than 10K miles. Repair estimate came out to about 65% of the value of the car. Not enough to total it in North Carolina.
