Is this worth buying? I'm just thinking bike car and van tyres.

I have one. Good value, pretty much identical to lots of other branded compressors of that size. My Aldi one failed due to a leaking check valve (they all have them, so no reason not to buy Aldi) and spares seem impossible to find; I recommend letting all the pressure off when you finish with it to avoid stressing the valve.

I've had mine for over 5 years and had more than enough use out of it. The tanks a bit small so the motor runs a lot and you cant run impact guns and but for tyres its fine, only topped up the oil a couple of times too. Recently changed all the connections to normal air hose fittings too and fitted a hose reel as the old one was getting a bit worse for wear.

I have the portable one without a tank. Good for seating tubeless tyres despite the lack of a tank, not tried it on a car. The outer rubber of the hose has split in a year but that doesn't affect the function of it (so far).
