My Jimny went for the pre MOT check today and mechanic said he can't believe how rusty the body of the Jimny is. He's quoted £2000 to fix, I don't understand how considering last year mot only had advisory for rust. Is he having me on or can a 2007 Jimny really have this much rust? Should I take for a second opinion or try to just sell it with MOT fail?
It's been said already, but yes it's possible (rust), and yes get a second opinion.
Hope it's not that bad.

Also be aware that mot welding is often not the same as restoration welding especially from a general garage. I would look for a more specialist restoration team if I were paying that kind of money.
