Even if the seller performed all of the steps in the following Apple article to prepare the Mac for sale, I highly recommend you start at Step #6 and erase & reinstall the system so you can be sure it has been done correctly. Doing the clean install yourself may reveal whether this Mac may still be managed by a previous owner.

I'm not sure what version of macOS will be installed using those specific instructions when performed with an M-series Mac. If you want a specific version of macOS, then you can create a bootable macOS USB installer using the instructions in the following Apple article now while you still can which may save you a few steps later on:
