Import with rust???? Previous mot check


aterro

Recommended Posts

Just did a mot check

and came back with this in 2012!

 

This is on a import car 2004 year old.

 

Nearside center chassis Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountings (6.1.B.2)

 

Offside center chassis Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountings (6.1.B.2)

 

 

 

Advisory Notice issued

 

Leaking pas fluid Steering rack damaged but serviceable (2.2.C.1d)

 

 

This a bad sign already?

 

(this mot was passed at the same place where they did failures and advisories)

 

Advisory wasnt fixed... what could this be? and the rust sounds awful?

Where would this be?

 

thanks

I would give the garage a phone and see if they can comfirm the works been done. I think your ment to underseal it when it was imported, well ive had 2 imports and got them undersealed when i imporeted them. Its maybe not been done in this case. My 350 is an 2004 uk car and its pretty rusty underneath too. The british roads are crap and the salt just eats away on the underneath of the car
