Okay, first was it warmed up. You need three bars before it will VTEC. Second, have you checked your oil level. If the oil pressure isn't high enough it won't engage VTEC. Third, if he didn't have it WOT you won't "feel" the transition of VTEC as much. Fourth, you have been here for 3+ years and dont know these things.
Go drive the car and see.

Sorry, CHECK the oil on a regular basis. Like every fill up until you see how much oil it uses. Some use hardly any some use up to a quart every 3K miles.
