Legal advice in Pittsburgh - disclosure / listing inaccuracies

I am closing soon on a property in Pittsburgh. The seller took ownership of the property as-is in 2018 and flipped most of it before covid hit. In the MLS description the seller/agent included information that it has a new roof. On the SD they wrote down that the roof was replaced in 2015 (prior to them owning the property). I obtained an inspection report from the sellers agent (was paid for by some previous buyers who backed out out of the deal due to financing). The inspection report states that the roof is 20+ years old with some damage/patchwork and would benefit from being replaced. My offer was low enough and didnt include my own inspection/contingency so im getting a good enough deal that paying for the roof myself makes sense. Regardless, i am curious if i have any legal recourse here as the MLS description and SD seem to be providing misleading information regarding the roof?
