Is the hole in the wing section or the sill? If sill yes a failure. If wing then no it shouldn’t be.

mobile welder should be able to patch weld it for its MOT.
should not cost too much, just get a couple of quotes.
Good luck with it, get them to check both front jacking points, if you do get them in to give a quote.

I need both of my jacking points plus surrounding areas plating with new steel. Not an easy job lying underneath.
Sam, when you can post a photo of the area that needs repairing.

Sorry for the really long time with no updates! But a year later and....
She's booked in with a local company to get the underside welded up! - Am looking forward to getting T16 back on the road, once welded up there are a few odds and sods (new hoses etc) and then in for an MOT.
With any luck this time next month will be a really positive post

They asked me to strip the interior out (to stop it catching fire!) before it gets welded next week...

The underside of the carpet was sopping wet and as you can see there is quite a bit of surface rust as well... So will have to sort that when the car is returned back to me!
If anyone happens to know where the likely ingress points for water is, I would be grateful... I am currently thinking the heated windscreen might have a dodgy seal or something like that, although could also quite easy be the normal hole to the interior fan that leaks on most ZS's!
Oh and I know that the seatbelt mounting is rusty, so will replace all the seatbelts when it is back as well.

Could be the screen. Part of it wasn’t working so might pay to get it removed, check the wiring and get it re-bonded. Check grommets behind the fuse box and bulkhead area in general whilst it is stripped.
