You can't really repair the cracks. just fill them in with a polish. There is a how to on here somewhere. They look average condition to me.
Also are you interested in a set of hooped headrests?

I use Autoglym products on my leather seats, keeps it nice and soft and supple. Leather cleaner and the Leather protector

If its gone a tan colour where it's worn, black shoe polish works a treat.
Just be sure to thoroughly rub it in, otherwise you may get it on your clothes.

Gliptone is the best cleaner and conditioner for leather. Can be bought off eBay for under £10 for both.

i just used a leather restorer a couple of times when i got mine, then went over it with shoe polish a couple of times and then restorer again to get the excess off, work great for me and covered them all, that was a couple of months ago now and still looks great
