If it needs new steel welding into floor to pass an MOT, that is not necessarily terribly expensive on a bare bones van, BUT it's not, it's fitted out as a MH! Depending on whereabouts it needs welding potentially it would need interior fittings, sound deadening, internal wooden floors, interior trim, maybe plumbing and wiring moved out of way etc. to prevent fire risk/damage from the welding!
Only an examination of the vehicle could tell you how much work is involved, a £100 welding job could mean a £1000 strip and reassembly of internal MH fittings to make the repair possible!
I doubt anyone on here could really give you too much insight into actual cost and level of work required, it'd need details of where and extent of rust/welding to even begin that quest.
Personally, I'd be loath to trust stripping and reassembly of MH interior to an ordinary motor garage/MOT station, probably far better off in the hands of a specialists MH workshop who understand the materials and construction methods used, and that generally comes at a higher cost.
Is it all worth it? You've really got to balance the initial purchase price against firm quotes for required work, maybe factor in a little extra for the unknowns that always seem to creep into these complex jobs, and then decide if the overall cost is viable against market value of the now sound MH.
