Don't touch it without a reputable carbon repair joint giving you an opinion (and there are several who you can find through this forum).
Road bike: Cervelo R3, Campagnolo Chorus/Record mix...
Supercommuter: Jamis Renegade...
Oldie but goodie: De Rosa Professional Slx, Campagnolo C-Record...
And you can call me Macktastik Honey Pete Kicks, thank you.

A quick test is to tap along the tube with a quarter. If the carbon is damaged, the sound will change. It will sound more dead.

No idea where you are based, you might also consider contacting Berk (he is on this board) if you are in Europe. The other options mentioned are all good and reputable, from what I have read on the intarwebz.

I'd ride that. doesn't look structural to me. top layer of carbon is usually cosmetic.

I'd ride it if I would know what happened to the rest of the frame.
These are nice well build frames and lacquer doesn't peel off easily from a Simplon.
Ask yourself if you think the previous owner is honest about it and why he wants to sell.
