You can buy a magnetic bondo detector, or you can just nock on the car, and the rocker pannels and see if they are good. Usually you can see paint discolored.
My friends keep getting in accidents and their cars always have a lot of orange peel. I highly doubt that in accident repair that they would put back a clear coat, so take a white towel, and wax a part where you doubt it and see if any paint of that color of the car gets on the cloth.
As said earlier, see if the brands of glass all are the same, then look at all the seams. Most of the time, places will replace one tail light or one headlight, so you can see if its new or not.
I usually always take the light fixtures out and look at the bulbs. They sould evenly be discolored on the bulbs from life.
