Default Neck reset needed?

Hi,
Is it possible to need a neck reset on an acoustic guitar when the heel isn’t pulling up from the body and the top looks good without any visible caving/folding in? I put a straight edge along the fretboard and it butts up about 1/8th inches below the top of the bridge. The saddle has been lowered quite a bit it seems to compensate for this. Anything else to look for because of this concern? This is a used guitar with a bolt on neck I was considering to buy. It’s a 2004 Seagull Artist Cameo.

Thanks for any thoughts on this.
