It's good enough, you will only get a better job if you take the time to do it yourself, welding tin is'nt the easiest job in the world and ruthles preparation is paramount to gettingt a nice result, as is a good welding setup. Not something conducive to a quick cheap job (which is what most customers insist on), bear in mind most MOT welders aren't trained welders either, they are mechainics with rudimentary welder training so they don't always get the best start when it comes to weld quality. Yes, the welds look a bit ugly, but there is enough material on there for the repair to be sound as long as he did a good job of getting rid of the rot underneath and protecting the back of the new metal he put in with some weld thru primer or something. Plus it's under the car so you won't see it too often.
Rotten luck on the accident bud, good luck finding a nice one to replace it with, if I had the space I'd love to do a full acid dip, bare shell resto on one of these with all the seam sealer off stitching the chassis would be a piece of cake!
