This is the MOT failure description. I asked for clarification and they pointed out some rust holes in my sills, the ones below middle(sliding door) and sill in front of rear wheel, corrosion at the join between inner and outer of the sills plus a small patch of one inner sill rusted through.
* Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded to the extent that control of the vehicle is likely to be adversely affected (5.3.6 (a) (ii))
* Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded to the extent that control of the vehicle is likely to be adversely affected (5.3.6 (a) (ii))
I can order outer sills and when they are fitted have the inner part patched but I am still slightly confused why the sills are related to the suspension mounting?
Can anyone offer some advice to make this clearer for me?
