On the basis of your post plus another thread on PH, I have just now trawled through 70 odd Gumtree ads for S80s aged 2006- 2009 under £3k and found 4 mentions of subframe corrosion in roughly 35 cars MOT histories, so not endemic but worth bearing in mind, only one mention the front subframe.
Also saw this phrase, ....
Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
Vehicle has reached an age where all components are corroded **
Not exactly sure what it truly means!
