Well having him less than a year you would not know if he does this every year (molt)
Can you contact the previous owner and ask them?

Generally speaking, when a bird goes through a molt there will be no balt spots.
(saying that, ringnecks and eclectus can go through such heavy molts they look like crap! but then they feather out nice again!)
If a bird is plucking, generally bald spots will appear where feathers are missing.
