anyone clued up, is this a fail?, jacked it up and it went a bit crunch.....the car cost 300 quid about 4 years ago, so its not done too bad...micra k11 2002

 

Thats a usual rot spot for a K11, and within 30cm of a suspension mount. So a fail

 

rik-rs, I think you have had your Ł300 worth out the car, but to get that rust repaired to pass the MOT would cost more than it;s worth now.

 

I'd advertise it "Minor welding required for MOT",,Ł100. (might be worth starting at Ł150 )
Then it's only cost you Ł200 for 4 years.

 

Hehe yes ive had my moneys worth...cars on nearly 150,000 miles aswell....hmmmmm its looking more and more like my siggy now...

think it`s still got the original exhaust on it as well, when i was under, its got nissan 2002 embossed on it...

 

Depends entirely on whether it is a good car to have welded up and keep using as a run around car

And it appears to be an unusual colour in helmet purple

 

Just make the car disappear then phone the insurance to say its been nicked ha ha ha.

 

Never jack cars up on their sills unless you have a good proper load spreader, or are using the OEM jack where and how it was intended. Although that would be a last resort.

 

Would that be considered "excessive corrosion" though, there are no holes in the sill?

within 30cm of a prescribed area, and I'd wager that finger or thumb pressure would breach either sill
