My 2002 has spent 11 of her 19 years in Scotland , near the coast. The other 8 she spent near the coast in England. She has had the rear wheel arches done once, and to be honest they weren't that bad, I'm just on things as soon as I see it. Which is why being unable to get the couple of bubbles that are showing now is really bugging me.
MoT wise she has had one fail , on a hole the size of a 5p. So I'm not really sure why you say " so long as it is not from Scotland".
Let's not forgot that nowhere in the UK is any further than 70 miles from the sea. However, all of the roads are gritted with the same stuff. Which combined with most people not cleaning their cars in the winter is more likely to be the cause of rust issues, than which country it spends it's time in.
