check everything electrical works. The fridge if it has one may be 3 way, 12v, 240v and gas, again check it works on all 3
Tyres are recommended to by change at 5 years of age.

If the person is giving up caravanning you may get a better deal, awning, aqua rolls and cooking/eating things thrown in but if not consider the cost of buying these.

you will probably need towing mirrors, milenco aero are pretty good and I would recommend a stabilizer to help prevent snaking.

check the damper on the tow hitch if you can push it towards the caravan it probably needs replacing. With the legs up does the caravan sit square and does the door shut properly.

We started with a cheap £500 damp caravan, loved it and progressed from there.

good luck
