If you just bought the car , you wont know when it was last serviced / checked ? Best bet would be to get a diagnostics test which should show up possible causes for stalling .

is engine running ok,any misfire or hesitation under acceleration,erratic idle etc,if warning light is on then check fault codes,check all your vacuum pipes to inlet manifold and brake servo pipe for condition and for any air leaks,
