wouldnt a dump of the output from tune2fs -l help figure this sort of thing out?

Obvious items are the mount count, the maximum mount count before a
check, the time of last check and the interval between time based
checks.
for example ive got an ext3 disk with maximum counting off by default
and check interval off by default on my F10 install.

Mount count:              274
Maximum mount count:      -1
Last checked:             Sat Aug  9 01:23:04 2008
Check interval:           0 (<none>)

If he's got a screwed up clock Last checked might look funny.
