You just have to look at it and check it out. Is it green? Are there any scabby spots anywhere, or dried, pinched-in spots on the tail. Are the eyes bright? What does the cage look like? Are stools runny? Is it skinny or are the limbs twiggy looking with the pelvic bones showing? What have they been feeding it, and what is the set-up like? A poor diet and no UV light can be indicators of underlying calcium deficiency. No time for an iguana can mean a lizard that hasn't been handled regularly. The behavior issues depend on your ability to work with it.
