I think that’ll be an MOT fail? It’s holed close to the tow bracket mount.

Gareth,
Surely, if he puts the plastic tow bar cover over it, the tester can't remove it to check for rust??

I'd start by taking off the rear bumper, then you'll get a real clear view of how bad things are under all that plastic, but it does look like there is a hole in your first photo
