The bumpers have gone patchy with fading.
The return spring of the storage compartment cover is broken.
The driver's door will not stay latched open.
The passenger sun visor does not spring fully back when in the unused position.

I would say from the pictures and description, you describe 7 negatives of which 6 I would say where "titter and sh*t" for a 20+ year old car.
The a/c might just be a re-gas and the cruise control the brake pedal switch...
Interesting the MOT history has no fails or advisory for corrosion related issues. Very interesting - the only car I've ever seen pass but with a "Dangerous" advisory which technically means you can't drive it. I read that as a very fussy tester rather than a serious problem.
On the face of it - sounds a really nice car and sound basis for a modern classic. Good luck with the sale. Personally I would change the fading number plates - they will make the car look much better in the pics.
