Assuming that you have thoroughly inspected the trailer and feel confident that there isn't any water damage and everything is working properly, it may be a good purchase for you. But, you also should assume that there will be some repairs or replacements in the future. You could be looking at major repairs or replacement of the refridgerator, AC, furnace and hot water heater. You really can't tell how long any of these components will last or whether they will just need a few new parts, but you have to be ready for those costs.
Our Sunline trailer was 10 years old when we traded it in, and it was still a great trailer aside from needing a little repair to the slide out. I'm sure that whoever bought it, if the price was right, got a good trailer that could still be going strong.
Just know ahead of time the typical costs for replacing major items such as AC and fridge and consider whether you can deal with it or whether you should buy something not as old and less likely (although stuff happens) to need major repairs/replacements.
