Under body rust - normal?

Hi folks.

I am looking around for a 2005/2006 RRS. I have found what seems to be a good vehicle in my price range, with HSE specification. The only concern I have is about the condition of the chassis and generally underneath. Is rust normal on a 7 year old car? I am looking to own and run the car for 8 years, so chassis condition is important.

Maybe it is just surface rust and grime and all perfectly normal, but I thought I would ask and see if anyone had any views.

NB. Numpty here is struggling to attach pictures to this message - aaagh, apologies. If I could email them to anyone who would be kind enough to view them, I would be massively grateful.

Thank you for any help.

Seen unregistered ones in the dealership with bad surface rut.

Only way to tell for sure it to get underneath with a hammer and screwdriver and have a tap/prod around.

Thank you guys. Much appreciate your comments, especially as I did not attach pictures. I have discovered that the previous owner was Aberdeen based, so I guess sea winds/salt may have been a factor.

Thanks
