Can you not just get the holes filled?
I did that for the rust holes in my last NCT and it passed on the second attempt.
Or cover them up yourself. Sand most of the rust and flaky paint off down to the original bodywork with a rubber block and sandpaper dipping the block into a bucket of water to keep dust down ( or use an angle grinder if u have to). Then get some isopon from a motor factors:
Its a flexible putty in a tube or carton that hardens after application.Theresa few different types. You can get a fibreglass putty too for really bad holes. A lot of mechanics do exactly this.
Apply with some cardboard. Sand the area down after the putty hardens so that it is flush with the rest of the car. Use stronger sandpaper at first and then towards the end use a finer grain. Then you can paint over it yourself or have it sprayed. A lot of car bodywork issues are simple DIY problems that are not too difficult to fix cheaply yourself. Enginework is more complicated by comparison.
