Boot into system recovery, you can't rely on the various apps to show you as most of them just lie and say it's not tripped..

System recovery
1. Turn phone off
2. Hold volume up+home+power

Knox should read 0x0

Then just choose reboot.

Not sure there's any way you can do it in advance to buying the device
Since recovery can also be modified, I'd say download mode is the safest way to confirm. Same key combo but using vol down.
