How to check if a domain has been penalised before I buy?

[AbsoluteDesign]

I guess the question is in the subject.

We have a client that wishes to buy a domain and use it to replace the primary URL on their website. Although the domain is currently not in use, it was back in 2002 until about 2010.

We're concerned that this could cause issues if we change the name over and the domain itself has had penalties in the past

Check using the organic search estimates in Ahrefs, those are usually pretty good and they keep quite a long history. You can also get similar estimates from SEMRush
