of course it can. it might have done no launches with a sympathetic driver on motorway miles. conversely, you can kill one in 50 miles if you're so inclined.

the likelihood is that it will need doing in the next few thousand miles if it is original though. I wouldn't use it as whether or not to buy a car or not.
