If you are having the house surveyed the engineer will not be overly concerned with the general condition of doors, floors, fittings etc. He will be confirming for you that the house is in good structural condition ie walls are straight and built correctly, it meets planning, windows are sized correctly, roof is stable, heating system is adequate etc etc.
It’s unlikely that tenants could cause structural damage – although you never know. Also you would have the same concerns about damage to the property if the vendor was living there, in fact, I would have more concerns about a vendor moving out as they wouldn't be too bothered about marking walls etc while a tenant would be worried about losing their deposit.
