Any corrosion casing holes or weak enough to be pushed through with finger&thumb pressure or using the mot test "toffee hammer" within 30cm/12" of a structural mounting point is a failure. These would include battery mounting, body to chassis mounts, brake master cylinder mounts, etc.
Anything outside 30cm of structural points is classed as not testable.
