Warm air heating - hot water cylinder not appropriate?

I'm buying a house with warm air heating system. I have no knowledge of these systems and the home buyers report came back stating:
Is this suggesting that the hot water storage cylinder is inappropriate because it doesn't have an immersion heater?
The report goes on to suggest the whole system is nearing end of life and that I should budget for replacement. I was expecting this, but would it be good to get the hot water cylinder replaced first? I was hoping to not have to splurge to get the whole system replaced right away.
Water heating
Hot water is provided by a gas circulator unit and is stored in a hot water storage cylinder. There is no electric immersion heater. This type of water heating system is not now considered appropriate.
