Apart from both rear quarter panels, what other panels have the mentioned corrosion bubbling?

The photos of the corrosion are from the rear passenger side tire arch, the other arches are in good condition, barely any corrosion. Thank you

Hi, do you know what caused the corrosion. Has it been in an accident at any stage as far as you are aware?
Has the car being borescoped at any stage and the results?
Is the engine running smoothly?
Any smoke on start up?
Any coolant issues
Any knocking sounds whilst the engine is running?
Any issues with the variocam cam solenoids/timing?

Hi, I believe the corrosion is only due to age, no accident. The car hasn’t been borescoped. The engine runs very well and smoothly. Normal smoke on cold start up. No coolant issues. Small amount of knocking after start up. No issues with the variocam cam solenoids/timing.

Hi, is it burning any oil.? Have you had to top it up since it had its last oil change and by how much?
Any idea what the knocking is and whether it is engine or suspension related?
Have you had any quotes to deal with the rust underneath and replacing brake pipes, pads discs etc? Any idea of the cost?
Are there any other items of expenditure that are required that you are aware of?

It isn’t burning any oil. I just had a usual oil change and filter end of April. Not sure what the knocking is, my grandad was a mechanic and he said it sounded like the tappets. Nothing wrong with the suspension. The brake pads, discs are in good condition. I haven’t got a valuation to fix the rust, however I can be lenient about price for the cost of fixing it. Looking to sell for £9000. Everything other than the corrosion is in great condition.
