They sense an inexperienced driver and they will pile on the 'faults', I've had a few try it on with me over the years when trying new MOT stations, I've smelt the flying male cow poo a mile off so stick with same one now.

I would have a look under the car yourself, if it is just surface rust, that is not a failure, wire brush it off and paint with underseal.

Maybe take some pics, along with myself there are plenty of clued up people on here that will know if it is a failure or not.
I completely agree with Specialone, get under it and have a look yourself or if your not sure what you're looking for post some pictures up. Any bad rust will normally be marked with what looks like yellow crayon!
