Its not that common but not unheard of.

The two main reasons why this could have happened are some 156 suffer water ingress through poorly seald floor seams. the water sits under the carpets and rusts the floor.

Another thing that may have caused it is incorrect jacking of the car damaging the underseal and floor.

Not sure about the inner wings though, maybe the car is parked on a seafront somewhere on a regular basis..
