Almost certainly due to acid leakage/spillage. The body may be
reasonably well protected against normal corrosion, but it's more
difficult to protect against acid!

I'd second that. Failure to deal with spilt acid from a split battery
resulted in the demise of my much loved Audi 100. (hint. the steering rack
mounting is pretty close. Well spotted by the MOT tester)
