He may equally be deceiving them if he did. He did not commission the
potential buyers test and has no visibility of the credibility or
otherwise of it. It might be there is nothing wrong and the buyer is
simply trying it on for a discount. It would be daft to go on a
recommend the test to other buyers - especially as its not even yours
to recommend.


I have had some "very nice" phone calls from sellers after condeming their
electrics.
