I've put a deposit down on an approved used car (just over a year old) and afterwards whilst looking at the car again noticed a little scrape on the opening side of the drivers door, as though it's been opened against a wall or something:

The dealer has told me they can touch it up but will still be visible.

Is this likely to cause problems further down the line (rust?). Not sure whether this is something to kick up a fuss about or not.

Any help appreciated.

Considering a Chipsaway style smart repair would get that back to new I don't see why a main dealer should get away with a year old car with any damage.
That's part of the reason you pay the inflated prices, the warranty and a car that should be as new - certainly for a year old. Don't let them do it with a touch up pen!

Id want that fixing, chips away would prob charge under £100. no excuse really.

the dealer will have their own smart repair person or at least a decent discounted rate.
