Default Worth a second opinion?

I spent a lot of money three years ago getting my 96 Fiesta through it's MOT and since then the last two have been not too bad.
However this time I was hit with this

Nearside outer (sill) Seat Belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded

Offside outer (sill) Seat Belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded

Offside (floor) Seat Belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded

Nearside inner (sill) Seat Belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded

Nearside rear subframe mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded

offside rear subframe mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded

Near side front suspension arm has excessive play in ball joint (I think I know how that happened, I smacked into a chicane in April)

Also the master cylinder and rear brake pipe need replacing, but I knew that already.

It does sound a lot to go wrong in the space of a year concidering non of this was advisory last year, and now it's become "excessive".
Someone else told me that the particular guy who did it was "more expensive than the other guy" (it was the other guy who did my two previous MOTs I think) and it turns out my garage does not exactly have rave reviews online. Should I just scrap it or look into it more, I have until just after the end of the month before the old MOT runs out.

Also is it possible for me to look at the subrame mounting without a ramp?

If the sub frame mounting is the bit behind the rear wheel then that doesn't look too clever the other side isn't brilliant but it doesn't look like anything to worry about.
