It would be best if you could get an experienced clarinet repair tech to look at the instrument to make sure it's in good condition. I agree with the other replies that the age isn't an issue. Even cracks, if they've been repaired well, aren't necessarily a problem. But that, as well as the condition of pads, springs and the tone holes themselves are all things a tech who knows what he's looking for can evaluate for you. But if you can't have the instrument looked at by someone of your choosing before you commit to buying it (or get a refund after having it checked), you're taking a chance.
