Bought from a business or a private seller?

Private seller

If it worked for 3 weeks without any issues then I would say it was as described, you have just been unlucky

How's it broken?

When buying from a private individual, all they is legally required is that they must have the right to sell the goods and they must be as described.
Provided that the MacBook was in good condition with no faults at the time of purchase and the seller was legally allowed to sell it to you, they have fulfilled their legal obligations.

It won’t start up it needs a new gpu, I’ve had it looked at.

Bad luck, I'm afraid. It's not like a car, where a seller could mask a problem for a short while.

The nature of electronic components is that they will usually either work or not work. 
Yours worked for 3 weeks and then didn’t - sorry, just bad luck. It could have been 3 hours, 3 years or never.
Any chance it is still under any type of warranty although change of ownership may invalidate this (?)

Why would you get a warranty from a private seller? 
It was working when they sold it - that's all that it has to do. If you want a warranty for faults happening down the line you need to buy from a shop. 
The seller will rightly tell you to jog on - in future you need to balance the reward of a lower price from a private seller vs. the risk of having no comeback if it goes faulty. 

Your rights are that the goods are as described - which was a working MacBook. It was indeed a working MacBook when you bought it, but it's since gone faulty - so your rights have been met by the seller.
