Sorry, but you will have to do that yourself. We are all users here, just like you, and don't ave access to any data from Apple.

If you have the serial number, you might be able to check, if it is covered by the warranty by filling in the serial number on this Apple page:

Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support

Find the serial number or IMEI on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Also check the Activation Lock before you buy, as explained in this article:

Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
