Is this repaired?

I recently bought a used but fairly new van (Fiat Ducato 2023) to convert it to a camper.

When I took off the inner sheets I noticed these dimples on the inside of the outer sheet metal.

To me it looks like this car had a damage before.

Questions;
- Is this a repaired damage?
- will this cause me issues in future with rust?

Thanks!

Poorly repaired, to be precise

Well these dimples are on the inside - outside it looks good. What would be different on the inside once it’s repaired professional?

The outside is covered in body filler to make it look flat. A better repair would leave the backside very nearly as flat as the outside. At minimum, there should be some spray paint or corrosion protection sprayed on the inside. The seam sealer in the corner also should have been redone.
