I believe that if the seller knows about an issue (which if a roofer says you have then a good lawyer will use that against you) that an inspector doesn't catch and the seller doesn't disclose it, the seller is still on the hook should the buyer sue.
The seller fulfilled their disclosure obligation at the appropriate point in the home buying process and it was accurate at the time. Further, the roofer suggested to the OP that the OP should get a new roof rather than make repairs. From my understanding in this thread, the roof is functioning as its supposed to be with no leaks or dangerous issues. Its not incumbent upon the OP to let the buyer know that a roofer suggested the roof should be replaced. The buyer should already be aware of this based on their knowledge of the age of the roof alone.
