How to perform a domain name background check?

Hi guys, just after a bit of advice.
When I first started here at WA I began building a website about debt management solutions, after a while I found myself in over my head, I was competing with some huge sites and didn't really know what i was doing.
I've come along way since then and I've decided to bring the site back to life at some point this year.
Ready to put this into action?

I went to waybackmachine.com and entered the domain name, the "way back machine" tells you if and when your website was cached and provides a link where you can see it. I was hoping to re-use parts of it.
I was surprised to find snapshots of the domain dating back to 2002 when someone else had owned it previously.
Before I start work on the site, I'd like to perform a background check to make sure it hasn't been penalized for spam, or being part of some kind of link wheel or PBN.
Does anyone know a way of performing this type of check?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
