At the end of the day mate, you will have this sorted in a few days and will be in pocket.

Either buying a new car, or having this one fixed. It looks repairable as the jacking point has rotted down, but not seperated if that makes sense?

Well it should not pass, and is a lot of work to put right the labour charges will be the biggest expense.

Jacking points will be around £80-100 a side for a proper repair (but it does depend on how bad they really are!! mine were just squashed but not rusty and thats the price I was quoted as a load of trim need to be removed)...

i paid 80 quid cash to have both side jacking points re welded and repaired
it will fail the mot if there is excess corosion within 12" of a jacking point / suspension mount or seat belt mounting
or holled to excess

Not sure if the sills are seen as the official jacking points. As haynes etc dont say to use them?
