Yes, the major problem I would worry about would be if he did his oil changes or not. Nothing is worse to a motor if you dont do your oil changes and making sure you check your coolant levels. Overheating and improper lubrication are the major problems why motors have problems and/or short lives.
IMproper lubrication can cause major problems down the road.
I would rather buy a a supra that has a motor with 200,000miles on it that has had its oil changes done religiously every 2000miles than buy a supra with a motor that has 70,000miles on it that has never had an oil change.
I am not too sure of the compression off the top of my head but I am sure its on this forum somewhere.
