Did you buy it from a main dealer?

Has this panel been re sprayed? This isn't the usual area for the paint bubbling problem commonly seen.

The garage I bought the car from, sold it new and looked after it it's entire life, before I bought it. They said it's had no work and the HPI was clear.

It is strange, but from what I understand, it only take a person to touch the bare metal without gloves and the oxidization can happen years later.

Lol - which dealer was this?

It's a very unusual place for this to happen - looks more like a failed repair.
It would be interesting to get it checked out by someone who has one of those devices to measure the paint thickness - that would tell you if there was filler underneath...

I had this on my V8 and the dealer just sorted it.

A magnet will tell you if there's filler in that area, yes I know aluminium is non magnetic, but that part of the structure is actually steel.
