Dob's are pretty simple. If it's in good cosmetic condition, hasn't been mistreated, no dings or scratches, just check the focuser and mirrors.

The focuser should be clean and smooth - not gritty.

The mirrors (especially the primary) really should be faultless, show no signs of dirt or having been cleaned, or having anything dropped on the primary.

A few flecks of dust is no problem at all.
