Holes!

On 6th December 2016 the car failed an MOT for a number of reasons. A fair few issues on the car were relating to the state of the underneath, or the lack of an underneath in some places!

The inside of the driver’s side front wheel arch – in this image you can see the remnants of where the rubber bump-stop should be – I didn’t know about this at the time and the garage simply plated-over the hole.
The rear of the car hadn’t fared much better! (Photo from passenger side)

The metal around the front leaf spring mount was severely corroded, and there were holes you could poke your finger through. It looks like it was about one speed-bump or pothole away from disaster!

I had this replaced with a new repair panel.

The rear leaf spring mount wasn’t a lot better! Again, this was repaired.
