Please help, 04 Cooper, Needs love

Well not my car, but my girlfriends. She just bought an 04 mini cooper.

She bought it knowing it had an oil leak, but was told that the TLC package would cover any repairs, her fault for not checking.

Total repair cost after taking it to BMW for a health check was £1500.

Needing the following doing/sorting

Stuff thats wrong:

Cam cover gasket leaking
Sump gasket leaking
Input shaft seal leaking
PAS hose leaking
Suspension bushes split.

As well as an advisory for brake pads, disks, and wipers.

Can anyone tell me if these are common problems and where to buy the parts a bit cheaper.

Thanks for looking and hopefully the help
