They tend to be noisy engines , but oil light coming on as well is a bit ominous and usually indicative of engine wear . Could be the hydraulic tappets that are noisy due to lack of oil pressure . You can also get rattle / noise if DMF ( dual mass flywheel worn ) . Add to that the emissions failure and it could well b e a money pit .
