The actual stabilizer itself does seem to be in pristine condition. The pristine object is, however, supported underneath by some things we haven't seen.

This particular Airbus was involved in a severe turbulence incident in which 46 people were injured. Whether that has anything to do with it or not the condition of the rudder would have no association with the condition of the materials below connecting it to the fuselage.

Just because the car is pretty doesn't mean it's mechanically sound
