It depends if they salt the roads/streets in winter, and if the car has ever been out on said salted streets/roads. If you have salted roads and the car has been out on them, there's a good chance in the past 10 years you might have some rust damage.
Others who know more about your particular car will be better able to help you over in the XK8 section. Someone will be along shortly to direct you there.
