Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (5.3.6 (a) (i))

ADVISORY
Integral body structure is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced (6.1.1 (c) (i))

The above were today’s advisories on MOT that it passed. Should I buy the car?

That depends on the amount of corrosion and the price of the car. You should shop for other cars that are similar and compare condition with price to know if you are getting a good deal.
