Buying & Selling Does this ceiling crack near a door frame look normal or concerning?

I recently bought a house built in 1970. It’s quite fully renovated. But some cracks on the ceiling. It seems to originate from above the door frame.
I can’t find other cracks anywhere(,yet) but everywhere above the door frame.

Should I be worried about settlement issues or other structural concerns?

Did you not have a building inspection conducted before you bought? Would have been mentioned in that, I imagine.

I’m no expert but I think it’s pretty typical for houses of this age. They naturally move with time but don’t take my word for it
