Let the seller explain how everything works. If it breaks then it's their fault as they didn't know what they were selling anyway.

Just find something where it uses up all the articulation and see if the wheels in the air spin up. you'll know if there's any drive to the wheels then.

Also, pay close attention to the battery guage. if it's looking a little low (half or so) you'll probably run into the hail storm of issues.

You can switch the 4wd on and off on a straight bit of road without any issues.

The 4x4 light dosn't come on till all the parts are engaged, so as long as the light goes on and off again when you press the button on the shifter you can be pretty sure its all ok.

If it does stick on, just pull over and reverse up a bit turning the steering wheel and it will unlock.

You won't break anything just testing it works like this.
