Should this be repotted? I inherited this Dracaena Marginata and do not have knowledge of when it was last potted/ what the root structure could be.

Do you see roots coming out the drainage holes? If you don’t, and your plant seems like it has no issues then don’t repot

I can check for roots but the leaves do seem be browning maybe not enough water or too much

Dracaena are also sensitive to chlorine in water and the tips can turn brown bc of that. I’d use filtered or distilled water ideally or let the tap water sit out on the counter for a while to let some of the chlorine evaporate out
