1.Nearside front suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not result in excessive movement [2.4.G.3] = The rubber is perished as it getting old change it for piece of mind
Offside front suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not result in excessive movement [2.4.G.3] = same as above
Offside rear wheel bearing play in rear wheel bearing [2.6.2] =take the wheel & drum off and inspect it if its ok repack it an reassemble (if you can be 4rsed nip it up)
Center front exhaust system has minor leak of exhaust gases [7.1.2a] = get it up in the air and have a look if not take it an exhaugst place and get it looked at
Handbreak cable corroding o/s/r tyre sidewall groove but cord showing. = agian have a look at it and replace the cable if need be

buy them from vauxhall. they are cheap.
vauxhall will know which bush you mean if you take the advisory sheet with you
then a garage will do them for you
