That particular spot under the wing mirror is notorious for rusting. If you look closely you can see some bubbling already. Best sort it out early. I hear it's a result of the wing mirror chafing against the door with vibrations from the road. If you shave a mm or so it should be fine.

The spots that look like bubbling are where the mirror was starting to wear through the paint and are touched up in the photo, its a very bad design that the mirror is only held on with one bolt and are able to vibrate
