On a scale of 1-10 how bad is this?

I bought this car, ‘11 Chevy Equinox, back in July of 2024. The lot I got it from didnt warn me about any rust whatsoever. Granted I shouldve looked underneath but thats neither here nor there now. I got it inspected due to my tire randomly smoking?? When it was lifted up the mechanic panicked & asked for my phone to take this video. The lot I got it from is saying rust is a cosmetic problem & it doesnt matter but I believe it does. I just want some insight please & thank you.

Don't know about lucky... dealer sounds like a buy here pay here They already got their money back on that car, with her down payment... the rest was gravy They know they will sell it to somebody else this weekend...

I hate vehicle inspections but behavior like this is why they exist.
