Bought an old work van (2019, 24k miles) and it has had some cosmetic work done, thats fine, but there are some areas that concern me. Bought from a dealer (VW commercial) to convert into a camper.

Had it 3 days and finally had a good look over it.

Are these sorts of things normal or have I got a Lemon? Or am I being pathetic. FWIW I knew this wouldn't be an enthusiast owned sports car. So are they all like this?

Pictures attached to try show the following:

Rust on lower sliding door and near the petrol cap
Discolouration/colour mismatch between passenger door and 'rear panel' (may not show up well in photos)
Chipping paint in the gutter/seams where the window is
Above the passenger door there appears to be a weld mark that has been painted, unsure if this is a seam and thats where something has been resprayed at some point, in fact thinking about it the flaking paint on the roof suggests something was dropped on it and a new a pillar was welded in?

Edited to add that the passenger door doesn't line up right and was blatantly once a dark colour and resprayed white. Same for the front quarter panel next to the door.

I think this is too badly repaired for me to forget about.
