Mot Advisory

[cmbmick]

hi

purchased a Laguna 98 reg 1.6 RT today , got a one yr mot with it , noted on the advisory the following:

(1.2.4a) Front Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened



(2.4.G.1)Front Subframe mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive


not knowing too much about cars , is this something to worry about ?


I intend to let my garage look at it , just wondering how urgent / what needs to be done with this?




cheers

nothing much to worry about or it would have failed the mot, but best to get the car on a set off ramps and wire brush the rust, treat it with a product like hammerite k-rust, paint with some sort off top coat (i.e. normal hammerite) then paint on some under seal.

i really like the laguna , its the first one have ever owned , spacious , cheap in this case and a lovely drive
