I thought mine was bad but yours is unbelievable. That type of rust is a deal breaker.

I worry more and more about mine. Not for the frame but all the other small bolts and parts that can break or seize.

I remember a while ago seeing a few cars that had been involved in the floods in Sheffield & the midlands a few years ago had been dried out, patched up and sold on, and there were warnings that this could happen in a few years time - If it's an 05 or 06 model, it could be one of them..?

Either way, if it's within the first six months of ownership, you need to speak to Trading Standards, (or whatever they call themselves nowadays). The car clearly isn't fit for purpose with such catastrophic rust in the chassis...
