Haha never realised that, god knows what the prices are though, as above it looks like surface rust, get some wire wool on it and give them a clean

Jack the beast up, stick some axle stands under, wire brush over the affected area, and the ive a paint with some rust proof paint.
but it is normal to look like that

You can use a spray that removes oil etc, and I'd use wire wool after I'd sprayed it, then as above paint it with some black hammerite or something

They are both fine, every 206 I've worked on has had it at least like that probably worse. Surface rust is fine as long as it doesn't get massively worse but to be honest I've never heard of a 206 having bad rust in those places. Wire brush it and underseal if you are that worried (obviously not the brake disc though).

Surface rust on the discs is normal except where the pads rub/touch. If the disc face is rusting it could be lack of use (or you've just had a rainstorm or washed the car) or the piston is sticking meaning that brake isn't functioning. Take it for a quick spin and the face should brighten up again.
What's more important on the disc is the thickness and how smooth the surface is. Heavily scored and it's likely to reduce braking. Too thin and in the worst case the disc could crack but is more likely that the handbrake is next to useless. Like ours was on the 206CC before I replaced all the discs and pads soon after buying it ... only a couple of mm of pad and heavily scored discs ... how it got an MOT in April is odd ... I've found 5 things it should have failed on!!! Don't trust a dealer!
Also check the pad material thickness .. if that wears out, then the disc is going to get damaged by the metal backing plate rubbing on the metal disc ...but you'd probably hear that anyway!

That disc isn't anything that a bit of braking can't sort out. It doesn't look anything unusual anyway.
If you don't like the look of the rear axle mounts you can paint them...
