Rust holes into the passenger cabin, on the frame, and compromising suspension components will be a fail

Surface rust won't be an issue.

Not necessarily into the passenger cabin, basically anything that someone could brush up against and get cut on is going to fail it according to my mechanic when I had a couple of quarter size holes in the bed sides of my truck. I threw some cheap fender flares on it to pass but was told metal duct tape would have also been sufficient.

I used the duct tape on an old station wagon we once owned, and it passed. Unfortunately, the frame rusted through a year or so later, so it had to be junked.
