Yea bet there's a few like that. I bought a classic, had no issues of rust on any mot ever. Last mot next to nothing.

After checking car out both sills has gone both inner arches, how it passed its last mot I do not no.

Wasn't bothered as cost next to nothing. And now having both sills cut out and done properly, plus inner arches gutted and rebuilt.
