Chassis holed...

Thankfully not mine, though it was one I had bought for parts

05MY, spent 10 years of its life in Englandshire, then 3 years in Scotlandshire, so hardly a harsh life

Rest of the chassis is pretty much immaculate, other than this part...

I thought it was OK chassis wise??

I will need to check the others... Is this a common point for Rusting?

Is that below where the rear brake pipes tend to go?
If the pipes had a very small, slow, leak it could have had a long-standing supply of brake fluid onto it. Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto
