So, while there are a bunch of fairly benign codes in that list, there are a few which are rather more challenging.
The ABS light is because of the return pump, which lives underneath the actual pump. Thats not a fun job and can often require hardlines replacing as the unions seize in place. It also needs VCDS to prime it. The pump itself can be had pretty cheap but its a 3-4 hour job to change it.
The headlight level sensors both need replacing - not terrible, and not expensive. The Febi sensor (which is the OE unit) is about £50.
I've never seen the knock sensor codes before. They imply a problem with the actual sensors, or possibly an ignition issue which is throwing them off. I'd need to look in to that in more detail.
The most concerning is the 'missing message' errors in both the cluster and TCU. Those mean there is a problem on the canbus somewhere. Its interesting that the ECU and ABS are not reporting the same issues, but the cluster is reporting it on both drivetrain and entertainment buses. That one could cause the car to shut down while driving, which is unpleasant, and could be a real stinker to track down. I've had a couple of these and its a case of get out the parts cannon and see which module stops the errors. It is often because of moisture ingress, especially when they have sat around for a long time.
Notwithstanding any of the usual mechanical issues like control arms, subframes, and power steering hoses, I'd think its probably a few week's work at mine to recommission it and get an MoT. In the order of £4K.
Given the bodywork and wheels are in good order I'd certainly not consider it a breaker. Its not necessarily economically viable to pay someone to do it at £2500 but it would be a good diy project for someone so inclined.
