Not mine, but on a car for sale - if the belt snaps can/does it damage the engine?

The 1.25 is an interference engine, so damage probable

By virtue if the fact they haven't fixed it by sticking another belt on, then yes it does / has damaged (wrecked) the engine.

Work on that belief and bid accordingly.
