Buying a used charger. Sensible or not?

We have been offered to swap a used 3 output charger that we need to allow friends to use a 1 output charger that we will buy. Charger is around 3 years old. Thoughts really appreciated. Thanks

High environmental temperatures shorten the lifespan of equipment like this.
If it's a good quality charger, like a Victron for instance, and it has not been abused or flogged in high temperatures then it will probably be fine.
If your friends have owned it then you'll probably have a good idea of it's history.
