Come off it. The list could be far longer.
A shell that seems mint on the surface could hide all of that & more....

Crack out the MIG! lol

Already failed the mot on this http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd220/lostboy_014/SDC10091.jpg
That is behind the drivers side strut top, Some one patched it up but didn't do a good enough job to fool the mot guy, There is more that haven't been patched up but are smaller, The one in the pic is quite big under the patch.

Welder will be coming out to play soon.
