Do Terranos exist that don,t need welding?

Good evening ladies and gents. I,m looking at getting a 3.0l terrano as my daily runner and for gaining access to some woodland on a steep incline. They look pretty good value for money, but seem to suffer from rot. I have read on here about 04 plates requiring alot of welding. Is this the norm. I would prefer to get my hands on a good one and then maintain it with wax oil etc, as prevention is better than cure. Vehicles advertised look great from the photos, but they never show you the under side. I know my way around csrs pretty well, but i realise sometimes corrosion can be conceled behind plastic panels, covers etc.is there any specific sneaky spots to look for, that can be done easily when i start looking at a few. My budget is up to about £3000ish. So i reckon i can get something right on miles, but don,t fancy arsing around welding. Am i being realistic or are they like hens teeth. Any advise would be appreciated.
