Welcome to Perth-WRX!
If you have the contact details of the previous owner, it might be a good idea to contact them and ask directly. Can also guess that if it hasn't been tuned that it could possibly had a check engine light flashing on the dash.

Find a really long piece of straight road.
Foot to floor. If it sounds like marbles are rattling around the engine bay you are sorted

What Tony Said... try and track down the previous owner... or else just take it into All Star Garage and get them to run it over the dyno..

Won't need to go that far. Just get ASG to plug their computer into it and they'll be able to tell you straight up if its been verso'd or otherwise.

What does a power run set you back nowadays? $100?
well worth it

For sure, power runs are cheap.
But the dude's not trying to find out how much power his car makes, or even if his AFRs are in check. He simply wants to know if it's been previously tuned or not. A dyno's not needed for this. If the car hasn't been tuned, a power run is going to do more harm than good.
