I’m looking for a new car, just a cheap runaround, and I’ve found an i20 that fits the bill in every way, except... I checked the MOT and it turned up these slightly worrying advisories. My question is how much would these cost to fix, because I’ll need to factor this cost in?
How much would it cost to put these MOT advisories right?

£100?
Look at the prices of inner suspension arms. But really that's a minor thing. I wouldnt read that as worrying at all tbh.
Thats just wear and tear on suspension parts/bushes.
Arms are 30 quid on ebay each plus fitting...

Yes, certainly not unexpected. I've seen dead lower arms at 30,000 on some FWD car - or even less.
The lower arm should cover both of your advisory points in the majority of cases.
Front arms do an awful lot of work in a conventional suspension setup - load bearing, steering, restricting lateral movement and acting as a pivot point - its a lot for one component to do.

I had to have both front wishbones replaced this year ,massive amount of play so couldn't use my usual garage in West Yorkshire (use when I visit my folks) got ripped off by cowboys in Bodmin ,but the Yorkshire place quoted £30 a side edit /labour ,I've used eBay parts in the past and only got a year out of drop links ect so I try and get a decent brand ,main dealer stuff is sometimes quite reasonable
