Is there a way to identify when the computer was last defragged?

Thank you.

Sure. Examine the system for signs of the program being run. If you're dealing with Windows systems, look in the UserAssist keys for signs of the user running it. Remember that on XP systems, the OS runs a limited defrag every three days, so you'll see a Prefetch file for the defrag program, but you may not see anything in the UserAssist keys.
