Depends how far it is from the seat belt anchorage point? worth getting it welded regardless, looks like its just the lip of the wheel arch where the trim has let water in. I have seen worse corrosion on a Defender rear cross member and still passed MOT ! 2013 FL2 XS.

The guy who does the mot might have an interest in failing it if he gets to repair it? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Possibly but he doesn’t do bodywork.

I'd just put it in for the MOT, and fix it if it fails. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver. 1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project. |

Took it to MOT station spoke to the examiner he said it was advisory. Also found a guy who is local and has done quite a few of these and he is charging £200 for the repair, booked in for Thursday.

Hi Mel. How did the welding go? did it need any if so do you have ay photos for us, had both my sills sorted out in January on MY07 1 2 3 Mainly first skin second inner skin was solid. 4 5 I had already removed the wheel arch liners before taking it to the place that did the job, and the side steps also sill covering. When i got it back i red oxide the inner wheel arch before putting the liners back on the car. 6 7 8 9 10 |

Hi Mel. Hope it all goes well, see if they will take any photos for you, some places will, others don't have the time. |
