Title: Rust - how to check if it will be okay?
Post by: jaxabin on May 11, 2026, 04:19:55 AM
Hi, i saw the recent post about rusting and it made me wonder about mine, does anyone know what kind of rusting fails MOT?

I have some rusting near the real wheel arch, but in my MOT with this new garage there weren’t even advisory for it, but in the year before i  had

Rear Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))
Fuel Pipe/s corroded

This year:

Nearside Front Upper Macpherson strut pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i))
Offside Front Upper Macpherson strut pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i))
Nearside Rear Coil spring corroded (5.3.1 (b) (i))
Offside Rear Coil spring corroded (5.3.1 (b) (i))
Front Oil leak, but not excessive (8.4.1 (a) (i))

They said nothing to worry about with the advisories, should i be okay for next year without too much spending?

will post image of the rust that I can see tomorrow
