MDM is frequently used by organisations to control the SW & HW environment. Only the originator can revoke MDM. If the Mac is enrolled can very much limit prosonal use. Nor do hard resets, wiping the drive etc. remove MDM.

Yes for work purposes NO for factory reset as MDM is tied to the hardware/firmware.

Not exactly sure on the new Apple Silicon Mac's would expect admin profile to be in a company nor be able to delete etc. Some settings will be greyed out. Wont be able to reset or enter DFU mode. TBH too many variable as MDM is designed to be flexible to the needs of the organisation.
This Terminal command should reveal

Probably not.
Provide more detail regarding the box (which MBP specifically? Intel, M1, M2, etc.) if you are looking for more informed advice.

What was the original purchase date? Is it eligible to add an AC+ warranty. I had bought some MBP in the past, 10-12 month used ones for great deals. Just added an AC after purchasing. Didn’t have to worry much. Ask the seller serial number of the laptop.
No. Macs you can add up to a year. And have 30 days to extend a device after AC expires. I have added AC 10-11 months after purchase.
In the UK, looks like needs to be done within 60 days……
How to buy
- Purchase AppleCare+ with your new Mac.
- Or buy it within 60 days of your Mac purchase:
- On your device (go to > System Settings > General > About)
- Online (requires you to verify your serial number)
- At an Apple Store (inspection of Mac and proof of purchase are required)
- By calling 0800 107 6285
How much extra depends on the deal. Personally I got better deals on Craigslist/FB marketplace than eBay.if you can get 40% off on less than a year used mac, I would do it in a heartbeat.
