It may well be fine but how long was it under water and was it fresh or salt? Easy to see if it did ingress and I would be very dubious about buying it if it did.
My Ford Escort van was written off at an MOT station and the cheeky bu**er said "Looks like its been underwater, take it to the scrap heap". Anyway a repairer friend welded on new inner and outer sills and I painted everything underneath it with Waxoyl. This was just to make it look tidy and cared for at the following MOT.
It passed and has done so for the last 3 since.
