IIRC the regulations for such products are essentially that they must comply with those that were in place when they were placed on the market in the EU/EEA, and provided that they are in the “same” configuration and modification state as that when placed on the market – OTOH, if they have been modified (e.g. updated components/assemblies providing more/different capabilities than as when originally shipped – and even updated s/w could be an issue if that affects the safety/EMC/etc., Directives requirements compliance), in which case they are required to meet the requirements that are current at the time the modifications are made, and updated compliance documentation, including possibly a new CE DoC, to adequately confirm compliance with those current requirements.
That’s a generalization but that is from where I would start when assessing whether further compliance work is required - I would also refer to the latest edition of the Commission’s “Blue Guide” as I think that does provides relative guidance.

Unless it causes a major problem, assume they do apply. Second-hand and refurbished products are not treated in the same way, because second-hand products may be offered for private sale by people who don't have all the necessary resources.
