Any way to diagnose an IMS problem at test drive?

Is there a way to tell if there is an IMS problem with a 996 at a test drive? I know you can cut apart the oil filter to look for debris but that's not gonna happen when you meet someone to see their car. If they don't have records of cut apart oil filters or of the bearing being changed is there anything else to go on? Can you hear a pending problem with a stethascope?
