How to check if a chimney flue liner has been replaced?

Hi, I'm having a gas engineer remove my gas fire to have a look at the chimney flue. Will he be able to tell the difference between a chimney flue liner that is 9 years old compared to one that would be (should be 2 years old). I can't get hold of original contractor who repaired my house to ask if he put me a new liner in (it was in a schedule of works for it to be replaced). The gas fire fitted is a flueless type, so would I be right in thinking, that a new liner (albeit 2 years old) should still be nice, new and shiny looking given that I have a flueless gas fire. Also, can I ask, when a new chimney liner is fitted, do they always fit a flue box to go with it? Thank you
