My last one started to tear apart due to a sharp edged dent in the top tube, which the previous owner had filled in and then painted over - I spotted it because the cracks started radiating out around the tube from the (hidden) dent that was the centre of them.
That ding looks fine. Better if it wasn't there, of course, but it's a cosmetic rather than structural flaw.
