JDM imports don't seem to have rust problems even though it's a similar island. I had a YJ that lived on Vancouver Island for a few years though and the amount of corrosion that was in the electrical was crazy. It doesn't really snow in the UK so I can't imagine they salt a lot. I would guess it's all the rain but it rains a lot in the lower mainland too so idk (edit: a quick Google says roughly the same number of days and volume of rain in the UK as Vancouver).

In the TG Nile special Hammonds Subaru looks clean on the exterior but the failed control arm had rusted from the inside out (granted it had high mileage). In a few of the specials the cars have clean looking bodies but when lifted up they're pretty rotten. RHD doesn't bother me at all and a Toyota-engined Exige (or even an Elise) is one of my more realistically priced dream cars but I'd be mildly terrified to get it here and it's got a bunch of internal rusting going on.
