Thanks Dennis. Your photos are a great help to interpret what I need to replace.
I took my car to a friendly MOT tester who was happy to say he wouldnt have failed it for the bodge tape. His view being that its a grey area as the structure of the chassis and inner sill are sound, the missing section is unlikely to contribute much to the strength. Of course corrosion within 300mm of the chassis mount or seatbelt mount is failable. He suggested however that it should be considered a body panel rather than structural... Im still going to fix it though!
