Yep rust, bottom of doors, all around front were the doors meet the body. Have a good look around that front pillar area and give it a good tap.
Drive and select all gears, make sure you drive it give the pedal a good squirt. I also like to sit in the passengers seat and go for a drive as well.

heater channels if carpeted give them a good squeeze, should not crackle 🙂
