Cambelt service, sort dent, new splitter for front. That's before you find anything else potentially wrong with it.
Exhaust doesn't need doing but it looks hideous, I would change it.
Auxbelt hasn't been mentioned, Cambelt hasnt been stated which year it was done. Service history upto 70k after that your taking his word so a full service is a must.
If I was to buy that I would look at spending abit on it, depends if you want it in good nick or not I suppose.
Of course though it wouldn't be £1500ish start away like most things do it over time, it's a good price that's for sure but most car adverts have more than meets the eye.

Yep, I agree, not sure what makes people think the cambelt needs doing, it doesn't state when it was done, just at 58,000 miles, it's done 34,000 miles since then so unless it was done 5 years ago it won't need doing for another couple of years surely?
An oil change would be worthwhile though, but that will hardly break the bank.
The most expensive part (If you're fussy like I am) is the paintwork. RB is a b**ch match up and you can't just do one panel.
Belts are no big deal now (traders on here are getting cheaper as they compete for business!) exhaust mounts are peanuts and everything else is just basic costs of motoring that you'd encounter with any used car.

Couldn't have said it better!
Most is wear and tear.
Fact is it will need money spending on it, chances of it having a receipt for the Cambelt? Local garage timing check is most likely needed.
If not that full job is £600-700 done right.
Exhaust £400
No pictures under the bonnet, missing fuel rail, dodgy induction kit, missing engine cover. Everything little bit adds up. If I was in the market though I would certainly be interested in it.
Someone gomotorola view it? Has a few offers on it, can see it being a forum members car soon enough.
