I used to live in Aberdeen where this Juke was first registered and in the 70’s and 80’s serious rust was typical in cars of this age. I had a six year old Morris 1100 with such bad rust that it no structural sills left and had several large holes through the floor. This should not apply so much to modern cars but it might be a factor.
I don't think you can sensibly compare the rusting of a Morris 1100 with 21st-century cars. The 1100 I owned in Canada from 1964 to 1967 lasted well for two years in Edmonton, where the roads were not salted as the winters were far too cold. After one winter in Ottawa, which used salt, the tinworm was well under way when I sold the car before returning to the UK the following autumn. :-(
