MOT failure

Preview
I’d like the collective hives view on this if you all please, our RR vogue 2007 went for its mot and has failed, were now left in a quandary.

It failed on drivers side rear jacking point/sill.
Front brake pipes corroded needing replacement.

Minor defects

Front drivers side CV boot. (I can do this on the drive)
Rear drivers side CV boot ( according to the garage just needs a large jubilee clip putting on so again I can do that)


The car is surplus to requirements now, (my responsible adult has purchased a RRS).
So I’m left wondering if it’s worth getting the work done or scraping it, don’t get me wrong it’s been a great car engine is strong ect car has done 174k it’s in average condition with all the usual scars marks, rusty areas. Same with the interior. Looking online I can’t really get a realistic value as the prices vary wildly!!

I don’t know weather to repair it, and try selling it with a 12 month ticket, scrap it, or try getting rid of it as spares and repairs (not sure there’s much of a market for the later).

We’ve had lots of help and advice off here so thought I’d ask and see the responses, feel free to reply or PM me.

Corrosion on the visible bit of the front brake pipe is the tip of the iceberg. They will also be rotten behind the near side sill, the front to back run. Replaced all of mine on the drive fairly easily using cupronickel.
If it’s just the jacking point that’s also quite easy if you can weld. Again did mine on the drive. It’s what you find when you start removing the sill covers and wheel arch liners that will dictate how big a job it is.
If I had space and time, I would seriously consider parting it out. 2007 3.6 TDV8
