Excellent!
If you intend keeping it for more than another year get that corrosion sorted ASAP.
Once it starts to go on those areas it goes really fast!
I think the body flexes at that point so the worse the corrosion gets the more it flexes the more it corrodes and so on.....

If this area is well noted for it's corrosion, can we have a wee pic up or a link so's I can check exactly where it is. Although, currently mine seems to have no rust underneath.

The area where it rusts is on the chassis rail, just behind the rear suspension insulator bush 
The wifes Scorp estate had to be welded there (N/S) for the MOT last year.
Incidentally, the wifes estate also passed it's MOT today.....with no advisories  ......
