it could be a couple of things,But it sounds like expansion has caused the crack.But Its only a guess.
Cracks can be worrying,but most of them are not serious and minor.I would recommend you have a full structural report,not a basic survey, a surveyor is not qualified or experienced enough to give you a detailed report.
A structural Engineer is held legally responsible for the report he gives you so he will be thorough in his examination.It is a little more expense but you have peace of mind.
