Rough rule is anything major structural within 12 inches of mounting point or seat belt mount is trouble, cant really see from youur potato cam but I would chuck it in and see what happens.
 
Tried screenshotting if a video lol here's a clearer pic . I thought it was 6 inches within mounting or anchoring point so thank for the heads up

So long as the surrounding steel is sound, I would say that little hole is irrelevant.
Obviously if you take it to halfords/quick fit you are in trouble!

Even though the hole is a break into a solid steel boxed construction that’s behind what we can see, supporting what ever, then owner will then be lucky if as u say “irrelevant” :)

That's just the start of it, the body mount is just behind that flappy panel at the bottom, they might pass it but I wouldn't want to let all that water in the interior. They might, they might not pass it but I very much doubt it.

I think a smear of sikaflex and a touch of black aerosol and that will be good to go.

Ho ho ho, you or I can do better than that. :)
1. cut a template from a cornflakes box, several attempts maybe required to get a good fit.
2. stick what u have made over the rusty area, use an environment friendly paste is best.
3. when dry, spray with under seal for the authentic appearance, an environment friendly under seal is best.
4. when dry, spray with muddy stuff.
Now get an MOT pass and the put the vehicle up for sale.
