Considering purchase of AWD V70-XC70 1999

I have hopefully one last question before I start negotiating a price for this vehicle. I looked under the hood and found something odd. There is electrical tape wrapped around a part I don't know better than to identify as a hose. I've found another pic of a similar engine and have marked where the tape was found. The image is here:

The tape is wrapped around the accordion joint, or whatever it's called. I know it's been there for at least several hundred miles and shows little evidence of having damage from heat like I've seen on electrical tape in other situations.

Anyway, is this an issue? What part am I looking at?
