Brown Water coming from Hot Tap

Hi,

We just moved into our house which is very old (1958) and we just noticed that when we turn the hot water on, it comes out a slight brown tinge. The cold water is perfect, it's just the hot water like that.

I've been told that usually this is caused from rust within the Hot Water System, especially if it's old. I did check the HWS and it was infact manufacturered in 1993 so I believe this is quite old right?

Based on the above information, would you guys think the above is right and it's pretty much guaranteed to be the HWS which I need to replace with a new one?

TIA
