get the gearbox hot (minimum 15min test drive) - offer to pay him a tenner for fuel.
they will most likely only play up with with sustained hard throttle or while under slip eg crawl up a hill.
also check the dipstick if 5 speed - it should be clearly red, if its grey or black it's probably shagged
