Exclamation About to purchase... need help asap

Hello!

I am about to join the club of Mazda owners. I have everything set to buy a nice 2012 Mazda5, including the loan and paperwork. The current owner said the check engine light was on because of a brake job. He said he went today and cleared the code. I am suspicious. Could I buy a cheap reader and retrieve a stored code?

If the brake job threw a code it may not have been done correctly.
