Should I change this drain pipe from basin?

Cowboy builders left me with this. Doesn't leak anymore, but there should be a trap/u-bend right? Apart from the smells coming from the plug-hole are there any issues that I may face?

It will need a trap unless it’s a bottle trap, but it does look like it from the pics. Get a P trap fitted asap

It has not kind of trap at all as at present. Apart from the smells coming up from the plug-hole are there any issues that I may face?

Not really but it isn't healthy to allow sewer gases constantly up into a room that's in regular use. A straight through (pedestal) trap would probably sort that out.

It has all been siliconed and cemented right up to the connection to the basin, so as @blup said I'll probably just fit a P trap after creating an appropriate connection coming from the wall.
