Still very low .feel for ya mate, know likes seeing this stuff on our cars .  Let me know how u get on as I said when I pull my arches I’ll be checking mine . My mates Gti 2018 at the rear arches have quite a few of zinc inclusions as well so something to keep an eye out for .

Our 2016 car has a fair bit of rust on things like the subframe, drive shafts and suspension arms which I will need to deal with.

My Mk4 Golf had many faults but even at 10+ years old it didn't suffer any rust problems on critical parts.

Only difference is you can get a full new suspension for a mk4 for £400 to sort it if it did.

There is a Volkswizard video that covers potential rust issues on the Mark 7; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxLU0b5fL5k

I did mine last summer on a very hot day, so that it was easy to spray the rust proofer.
