Thinking about buying a 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited, but it's history records an accident in 2021 and I'm not sure if it's still okay to drive. Any advice?

I just graduated and am looking at buying a new car to drive for the next 6+ years potentially. I've only ever driven cars from 05 - 09 so I was excited to drive something newer and better. I immediately knew I wanted a toyota because of their reliability and I knew their Avalon's got discontinued in 2022 but I saw a Avalon hybrid limited with 58.9k miles for $27k (within my budget) and I REALLY liked the interior and exterior, but noticed a big scratch on the bumper which I later discovered was from an accident in 2021. The car still looks nice and drives super smooth, but I'm nervous about buying it because what else might happen because of the previous owner? Should I still buy it or look into buying something like a 2023 or 2024 Camry?
