good to know. IThat bottom hole is original, rather than wholly rusted -- the rust has just made it bigger. But they might suggest welding over it anyway?
The cross member is a grey area of MOTing, I believe that it is at the discretion of the MOT tester as to whether the car would pass or fail, but the VOSA rules state that the only way the cross member can count as an item on a VT30 (fail sheet) is if it is cracked or fractured, not corroded, so im told anyway after asking a tester fresh from his MOT training. Heard of a few garages locally being caught up in arguments with customers and VOSA over crossmembers. Still worth sorting though if you are looking to keep the vehicle.
Mine could be better i guess

Depends on the MOT testers itnerpretation of whether the crossmember is "integral to the structural rigidity" of the car.
Currently having a debate over whether the slight play in my steering rack is "significantly effecting the vehicles ability to steer correctly" with a couple of local mechanics. Some say yey, some say ney. lol
