Vauxhall Corsa D - Belt/Pulley Area Noise on BCA AA Report - MG16

I'm interested in a 22,000 mile 2012 Corsa 1.4 Automatic - the car is at auction and the report mentions noise from the engine bay area and specifically "Belt/Pulley Area Noise." Is it possible to confirm what this is likely to be and the cost. Am I right in thinking a new auxilary belt should cure this? I was a bit surprised that a 22,000 mile car would have this issue.

Thanks in advance for your help

That's why it is being sold at auction.

Yes, it might just need a new auxiliary belt. Or it MIGHT need a new engine. Or anything in between.

No comeback if it does, sold at auction with zero warranty - basically, unless you can glance under the bonnet and confidently diagnose what needs doing - and a rough idea of the cost of repairs, then walk away.
