Is My Pride and Joy Rusting?

My car has done 20,000 miles and built November 2005.

Are these levels of corrosion normal? If not, a warranty job?
The car does creak on full lock turns at low speeds....

thanks in advance for your opinions.

Mine is similar and agree it's not good. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

I would take it into the stealer and get them to note it on the car's history, there is a full anti corrosion inspection carried at each annual service so they should have picked it up for that. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Mine's only a year old with 10k but completely rust-free underneath. Could this be an "off-road" issue? MY12 SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ebony/Piano/Sidesteps/Privacy/Overfinch Olympus/JLR DRLs

Thanks TJ. So, there IS some rust? Interesting, because there DOES appear to be a definite link between surface rust or decay and off-roading. Conversely, me and Envoy haven't been off-roading and NO signs of rust whatsoever!

Be nice to hear from other owners, both off-roaders and on-roaders? MY12 SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ebony/Piano/Sidesteps/Privacy/Overfinch Olympus/JLR DRLs
