Component mounting: prescribed area excessively corroded on the Suzuki Jimny

Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 1.1% of tests record it — this model is 4.1× that share |
| The 236 models compared | 30 of 236, highest first |
| The model's own record | 81,784 tests · every year of the Jimny → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Suzuki Jimny tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.
