Why will it fail? It's corrosion in bodywork that isn't in a prescribed area - it's not the chassis rail to which the suspension is attached. That area isn't the attachment point of the body on to the frame either. When the doors closed and the cill panel in place it's not presenting a sharp edge that could injure someone.

look on the DVLA site for the previous MOT advisories and see if corrosion in that area is noted.

Chassis or not, it looks like it's within 30cm of a seatbelt mounting point, so would be a fail. |

Good point, it might be within 300mm of a seat belt mount. If there is a real intention to sort it, I'd be tempted to put the cill cover back on and see whether it gets flagged. And then, either way, get it sorted but at least you'd have time if it doesn't get flagged at the test. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
