Hi well every electronic system can fail but the kemper have great build quality so...
I've had mine for a year, and it's survived being tossed on the floor (in a case with little padding) by an errant drummer. The Kemper seems to be built like a brick ***house. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one used. What really puzzles me is why there would even be a used one available?... It's an amazing piece of equipment, so why anyone would get rid of one, or not like it, is beyond me. 
Grab it... download and install the latest update, and you're good to go!
I haven't heard of many kempers failing. The only issue is there was a batch of faulty LED's but kemper will replace these under warranty. I'd have no issue buying a used kemper. So I say go for it
My first was used and out of warranty, never an issue, it even fell off the back of a stage once. Built like a tank. I would do it again.

I am curious abou tthe LED issue, was this limited to a specific run of the kemper line? For example only the white-faced units, or have some of the other toasters experienced this issue as well?
Kemper honours a 3-year warranty, not many units are older than this actually.
As for the LED issue, it was reported to be relative to a faulty batch of components used in 2012.
