Should I do anything about this minor rust? Or is it normal wear and tear? (2016)

Hello, I know this is minor rust but I live in Dubai and rust is generally not a huge concern here, unless cars are really old or are imported from the US so I don't really know anything about rust damage.

One owner since new, I was changing the oil on it yesterday and saw this while it was lifted, should I be taking any preemptive measures or is it regular surface rust that won't damage anything? Thanks in advance

Hello guys, long story short, my father retired from Dubai and went back to our home country. I ended up with 2 cars, my dad's single owner 2016 Lexus GX460 and my 2nd owner 2016 Rav 4 (bought used), I only have one parking spot in my apartment.

  • GX460 is a full option (Platinum), very comfortable car with decent acceleration and offroad capability (I take it to the desert occasionally every winter), has 305k kms and all service until 250K was done at Al Futtaim, the car is in a very good condition. Only 2 drawbacks I can think of are eventual failure of the air suspension and higher fuel costs. At 300k kms, and due to current fuel prices, it's gonna be a much more difficult sale.
  • RAV4 has 130k KMs, it's a very basic car (VX, 2WD), gets the job done, reliable and much more fuel efficient. However, compared to the Lexus, it's not a very comfortable car, it can't go offroading since it's a 2WD. I know it's the more logical car to keep but it will be much easier to sell.

My daily commute is no more than 18kms in total (Greens to JLT) and I'm never stuck in traffic, Lexus' fuel economy is 14L/100kms compared to the RAV4's 9L/100km. After calculating, I'm spending double the amount on fuel but it ends up being a difference of around 1600 aed/year (AED 3000 vs AED 1400).
