Most common? Right where to begin.

Right, cosmetically, you'll get rust on the rear wheel arches, front wings just above the bumper and also where it butts onto the sill. Doors can suffer a bt in the bottom corners.

Structurally, the sills go. Also, inside the front wheelarch where the chassis rail is welded to the inner flitch.

Front part of the floor pan where it turns into the bulkhead. Boot floor can also be troublesome.

Finally, front turrets around the spot welds can fail and also rear turrets around the top can sometimes go.
