MoT failures due to rust. Salvageable or not?

[oldie]

Considering buying a low mileage v6.

MoT failure in 2021:

Offside Rear Inner Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced inner sill holed and corroded (6.1.1 (c) (i))

Then this year:

Nearside Rear Suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))

Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength inner sill marked in yellow (5.3.6 (a) (i))

Subsequent M0T passes; however. do these failures mean the car has a terminal problem or something that can be satisfactorily resolved for a bit of time, effort and money

Can you add some photos of the affected areas as it will help people give advice.

Afraid not. Thinking of buying, details from MoT history check. Wondering if this a decent proposition that shouldn't worry me overmuch if a bit of TLC is factored in. Rest of the car looks ok in the supplied pictures.

If it's passed since then it's either had the corrosion repaired ( usually the jacking point and the sill around it ) and the upper suspension arm replaced. Really depends on how well the repairs were done. Did my nearside last week.[IMG][/IMG]
