How can I test a used computer for problems?

Are there any commands that I can use on a secondhand laptop or PC running Linux that will tell me if there are any problems with the system? If so, what are they?

For example, battery life/condition, hard drive space, bad sectors, bad RAM, bus speed, video/audio hardware and driver specs, LAN card specs, etc., etc.
