We bought a house few months ago that had a 16 year old roof, but new HVAC. We did offer quite a bit under asking to compensate for the replacement and other necessary upgrades. We were still able to get insurance for the 16 year old roof, but it did cost more. We decided to replace the roof a month or so after buying, however. We probably wouldn’t have considered the house if it didn't have the amazing views it has! In a way I am glad we offered less and did the roof ourselves because we were able to ensure it wasn't done cheaply and we were able to get the shingles and color we wanted.
