It's the lowest-priced model they do, but a perfectly decent bass and worth more than the price it is just now. They don't seem to do a basic P in the Affinity series now (it's a PJ), but these were somewhere between £150 and £200 new I think, and should be worth about £100 used.
The jack nut is missing and will need replacing, but that's not a big job. Otherwise it looks in decent condition, I can't see any other alarm bells.

Very happy.
The slim Affinity body might benefit from a pickup with extra midrange and, possibly, low end. e.g. DiMarzio Model P or the (discontinued?) Will Power Middle.
If you don't have a spare jack nut and need to replace the whole thing, I would recommend a Switchcraft jack - that will make it effectively a properly giggable instrument, it's the only real weak point on them - the pots are functional and (relatively) better quality. And possibly increase the size and length of the strap button screws, the originals can pull out of the wood. Other than that, I never really see any problems with these, and they get used in schools!

The tension load of heavy gauge strings might be more than the neck can comfortably withstand. Consider changing to .035 or .040 to .095.
I know nothing about bass strings! Is .035 to .095 considered light?
Any P-Bass neck that isn’t actually faulty will take 45-105 with no problem, although it may well need a truss rod adjustment if it hasn’t been set up for a while. If you’re coming to it from guitar I would probably choose 40-100 initially.
