Inner arch hole

I have got my test tomorrow and forgot to do anything about a hole I found in the inner rear arch. Will this fail?
If so any suggestions for a quick fix til I can weld it?

After much head scratching I think I know where that is...and yes it's a fail as its within 12" of your suspenders...if they see it...mud may help?

It failed!

gutted. Bit not on the inner sill. Chassis corroded at rear, and near side sill. I sense a huge bill coming my way

Read some where that the chassis are not prone to corrosion. Possibility it's just surface rust?

they can rot anywhere really, chassis is quite a general term. So best to see where it is first
