Looks like the weld just hasn't been carried on right to the end of the joint? you can see this clearly in the second picture where the weld finish "pool" is clearly visible. I don't know if they're all like this though? The condition of the metal looks very good - wish my Panda's axle looked as good - So, if it was me I'd be keeping a good eye on it but not particularly worrying if the "crack" doesn't start to spread. Having said that though, the third picture does seem to show the gap may be widening because the wee blob two thirds of the way up does look like it's pulled away from the metal surface to the left? If you think about the forces the spring is exerting on the pan it's pressing down on it so is tending to open up this "crack"
