It’s rare to see rusty cars now but fir whatever reasons they pop up from time to time too. My 02 S60 started to rot at 10yrs old so it’s not uncommon on Volvo. I’ve seen V60’s rusting which I would of thought unusual

I remember my father buying a secondhand Austin A35 van in the mid '60's from a reputable local garage. It was immaculate when purchased but 12 months later the sills were falling apart. They had been repaired with a row of baked bean tins lying along the bottom of the sills, covered in wet newspaper and body filler on top of that.
