If it's been welded and done properly then it shouldn't be a problem, if it's corroded again or in other places then obviously it'll need to be looked at.

How much work has been done?

yer sometimes if a car has been failed then repaired and then retested most testers will advise on corrosion and heavily welded doesnt mean much normally just to cover the tester if anything goes wrong,,as long as the repairs done properly nowt to worry over
