Noise, rear right tire, shocks? on potential purchase

After picking up a 9-5 sedan a few weeks ago I now also think I'm going to pick up a 2004 9-5 Arc. The car is immaculate inside and out and the owner has all service records, about 70k miles on it. Recently had DIC, 60k service, all synthetic oil changes etc. He is the original owner.
The only concern is that when driving there is a slight noise from the rear right tire. It's not a howl like a bearing but almost like it's out of round but the noise seems to get less at higher speeds. I don't feel any wobble or vibration in the steering though.
He said that his shop said they thought the shock was going but that it's not leaking.
Does anyone have a clue what this might be? Could it be a shock? There are no clunking or popping noises at all and when we were stationary pushing the rear bumper up and down made no noises and there was no "bouncyness".
The only other thing is that he does not have matching tires all around. He recently replaced the front two.
Thanks.
