Ok so the clutch needs replacing... I hear it's a big big job on one of these cars. Now the question is, is it economically viable to repair?
Not sure what the problem is

Weigh it up, sell it now as it is, pay for clutch and flog straight away or pay for clutch and dual mass flywheel (if it has it) and keep it.
It's up to you.
Experience tells me I didn't put a DMF in my wife's Zafira when the clutch went and 5k later it needed a DMF, it needed a new clutch as it was self adjusting and the no one has a reset tool for obvious reasons.

With the state of the car -
Big crease (clean) dent in the driver's side rear door - door got stuck in a slatted fence when open and reversing off a drive.
Front bumper cracked and slightly hanging down at offside after an accident a year ago bumping into a stationary car.
Interior is showing its age - seats don't look great anymore and generally looking a bit worn.
115k on the clock - not a spectacular mileage I know ...
But I've seen better examples for around £600 on ebay.
Not worth repairing I don't think, + I've fancied an ST220 for a long time now.
Thank you for all the advice.

With that in mind, you may as well stick it on ebay and say the clutch is knackered. You'll probably get some mechanic/good DIYer buy it, fix the clutch, pull the dent and repair the bumper, then sell it for a profit.
Meanwhile, you can take whatever proceeds you get from the sale, and put it towards an ST220!
