If you can access the inside of the affected panel that should really tell the story. Panel cut out and new one welded in? Original panel but obviously still dented in? That means plenty of Bondo on outside. JWA’s magnet trick is also a common way to tell.
It all comes down to how much they are selling it for in relation to the unscathed value of the van and how much downstream risk you’re willing to embrace. Also it WILL affect resale value, especially if shown on CarFax, so keep that in mind.
