Because the oil level gauge doesn’t work, I would look into other aspects of the heating system.
Oil Tanks in general don’t last much more than twenty years, especially if they are outside. Ask the owner for some history about the tank and also the oil burner and boiler. Did he have a maintenance schedule that had the burner tuned up and the boiler scrapped and vacuumed out?
Do you have a chimney or a power vent and were they cleaned along with the furnace.
I would at least take the enclosure off the tank to inspect it.
