Given the amount we are seeing about serious corrosion issues on some modern Mercedes I thought this appropriate.
One of the boys 2007 Honda Civic went in for an MOT.
Never had any mention of corrosion on any of the previous MOTs.
Last few years only tyres, brake discs and a leaking shock ever mentioned.
This year though we have:
These are not even the failures but after a look the car is in a bad way.
Going to be scrapped by the looks of it.
My 1963 Imp has less rust than this car!

This year though we have:
- Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened rear axle (5.3.3 (b) (i))
- Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (5.3.6 (a) (i))
- Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (5.3.6 (a) (i))
- Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive both floor pan areas (7.1.1 (a) (i))
These are not even the failures but after a look the car is in a bad way.
