Did I Get a Good Car?

Just yesterday I purchased a used 2017 Kia Sportage EX with the 2.4L GDi engine. It's naturally aspirated no turbo. 6 speed transmission. Its got 71,000 miles on it driven by an older woman who put about 7,000 miles per year on it. She bought it new in 2016 and was the only owner before me. No accidents. No open recalls on the NHSTA website. It's a Korean built serial number. She did her oil changes on time and she did the proper services when they were needed. Its got new tires and new brakes. My question is should I worry this thing is going to blow up any moment or will it last me for a few years? Some people on here make it seem like Kias are bombs that detonate before 80k miles.
