It doesn't look like a factory weld to me, so your assumption may be correct. I would get it independently inspected.

Hi Raf, I have just had a look at mine and it is the same. Mine has not had a accident.

Just been out to check my 2011 V60. My welds are not as corroded, but are in exactly the same place as yours, so you're probably safe.

I spotted similar " quality " welds two years ago when I bought mine. I injected some motorbike chain wax to stop water collecting inside and resist corrosion.
