Hey all,

I'm currently looking for a new replacement used car after having mine sent to car heaven by a lovely young chap who hit the side of it.

I've found one that otherwise ticks all the boxes but noticed some rusting on/around the sills. I spoke to the garage about it and they seem to think it's just surface and there are no advisories on the current MOT, and have never been advisories on any MOT regarding it.

In the opinions of those here, is this a concern? Reason to walk away? Acceptable if treated?
My car structural knowledge is limited so really appreciated thoughts on this.

Further details if it helps: 66 plate (early 2017), Kia Rio, spent a lot of it's like around Edinburgh (probably why there's some rusting)

Thanks very much for that! So you wouldn't necessarily write off this particular car for that type of rusting? Typically, if treated, would that prolong the life of the car for quite a number of years?
