Ask the PO which rigger did the work, then ask them. They will probably be able to remeber and confirm.
And google rigging checks - there are any number of checklists around that might help you.

Unfortunately insurance companies need to see the riggers report so as suggested find out who the rigger was. If they are a licensed rigger they will have the invoice/report. While you can age some rigging by the turnbuckle design etc this isn't really much use to anybody.

Like MB said you can judge the age a bit. If you look at the kind of turn buckles you can judge the era of rerigging, unless rigger used old design ones that he kept in his cupboard for years, and if you see traces of rust where the turn buckles are and under the swages the time since re rig might be more than 3 years.
Re worrying about the rig coming down, although there's no guarantee of course, if you are doing day sailing and not pushing the boat to its limits it would be unusual. even if the rig was 5 years old as long as it was OK in the first place.
