Honestly the only way to gauge it is to assess the seller and determine whether or not they are a liar, and then ask them flat out precautions that they take when driving the car. There's nothing that will really indicate how the car was driven other than a compression or leakdown test and those only really tell you the condition of the valves/rings, not condition of main bearings, turbo, or other important things. Even all things considered buying a car is a huge gamble and sometimes you get screwed.
