Mine looked the same when a few weeks back when i removed the wheels to clean them, i ended up changing the whole subframe with upper arms, lower arms, and drop links as an whole unit.

1

The more you poked the worst it got.
2

But the under side was solid so that is why a lot get passed in the MOT.
3

I should imagine quite a few cars are running about with the inner cup section rusted out.

Yes, you can see why the MoT testers can't detect the issues. Good reason to at least have the rear wheels off now and then to check their health. Wouldn't have taken much poking to make mine look like yours I'm sure!

Not sure if it's my imagination, but the rear of my car now feels a lot more solid and sturdy - no parts other than rear arms with bushes changed. I have been driving it with some trepidation knowing they needed doing though, so it may just be the confidence of knowing they are now done

Flipping Heck Keith,
You were lucky there. One average-sized pothole and it would have been good night Grace
