Is it ok to drive a truck with a bad coil / spark plug?

One of the vans I am looking at (current top contender) had a misfire, now traced to a bad coil and fixed. The seller is the type who did not notice the misfire. So I have no idea how long she was...

Wow, I am so glad I asked you folks!

It's true I don't know much about cars. I almost didn't bother to ask you, because I thought it was unlikely to be a big deal. The only cars I have done significant work on have been from the 60s -- no injection, no cat. Only 3 moving parts.

I feel like I am never going to find a feckin' van.
