Default VCDS Results from an A3

We’re looking at buying a neighbour’s A3 (2011) for my daughter and I’ve run the VCDS on it. It’s thrown up a few codes as follows:

Address 01: Engine, 3 faults found:
5456 Starter will not turn. Jammed or electrical malfunction. Intermittent - not confirmed - tested since memory clear.
5463 Starter control; returned message - short to plus. Intermittent - not confirmed - tested since memory clear
10087 Neutral Gear Sensor - implausible signal. Intermittent - not confirmed - tested since memory clear.

Address 09: Elect, 1 fault found
00979 Lamp for low beam right. Open or short to plus. Intermittent (then a load of stuff about ‘Freeze Frame’)

Address 19: CAN Gateway, 1 fault found
01303 - telephone transceiver. 004 no signal/communication - intermittent. Date: 2016.11.25

Address 56: Radio, 1 fault found
01044 Control module incorrectly coded (more freeze frame stuff!)

Address 61: Battery regul, 1 fault found
02256 - quiescent current, 001 - upper limit exceeded - intermittent. Date 2019.11.29

Can anyone translate this into layman’s language and advise if any of it should be of concern?

Thanks in anticipation
