This area has been welded at some stage, all seems solid enough but rust is peering through Is this a common place for rust, I've not seen it before, and is it a structural thing ala MOT failure?
Other items I need to tackle are 1x cv joint and 2x rear arm bearings
Is this an mot problem?

Problem is the welding heat has discoloured the paint on the outside which is probably not just surface but will try the T cut option anyway thanks.
The whole thing looks solid so I may just whack it myself and see

I usually take the whack it or poke with a screwdriver approach.
I.e. If i break it then i know it needs sorting, if i dont then MOT man should pass it
