A complete inspection by a qualified mechanic should locate any obvious problems. Obviously that is no guaranty as to what might happen months down the road. Even a new coach can have a catastrophic failure right after it goes out of warranty.

A 2-4 years old diesel might just be getting broke in depending on the miles. The biggest thing, are there maintenance records as to what's been done to maintain the unit while it was in use. But a unit in that range should have no worry about break downs unless it was severely abused by it previous owner.
