Take friend with you, so the two of you can lift it up and inspect the underside. Check for rust and damage and also make a point of looking at the shock points. Check the frame carefully for any cracks. 2. Check the tires for the type of wear that would be indicators of abuse. Are there any plugs and if so, how many? 3. Lift each end of the unit off the ground so you can jiggle and shove each tire to see if the bearings are worn. Slight give is to be expected  but extensive “movabilility” is not a good thing. 4.
