I've noticed a few VW UP!s with the fuel filler cap missing.

Yep. Crap clips holding them on - hit a puddle at speed and it pops them straight out

My sister in law had one and said it just came off in her hand when she opened it to fill up. VW replaced it under warranty and at the dealership she was told that this problem is happening a lot and the door wouldn't be available for a couple of months. This was a few months after they first came out

I see a disproportionate amount of newish VWs with one headlight out, particularly the Up.

I also get a feeling of satisfaction at a Mk1 Yaris with a dented lower rear bumper.
yes

Polo 6N suffer from the same ailment.

Mk4 Golf's dont seem to have the undertray flapping anymore either.
Mine suffered from this: ripped the bd thing off.

E46 BMWs with a peeling front BMW badge
Mine has this, but it is a minor flaw compared to the rotten front wings. frown

I have noticed a lot of R53 Cooper S' with missing chrome exhaust tips too.

Someone said this before about Transporter with 1 DRL out, I've been told before it's an ECU problem but both can be turned off if required.

306's with hanging handbrake cables under the car

Similar with most French cars of that time having faulty rear lights

Me too. I drove past 5 of them today, of various different years, that all had a non working passenger side headlight.

There's also one in my road which has a consistently failed passenger side headlight. It got fixed again earlier this year and 2 weeks later it was out again. Now the young girl that drives it has gone back to turning on the full beams and foglights to cover the loss of the light banghead

Fiat 500 with dented sills - how hard is it to find the correct jacking point?!!

Also the earlier point about Peugeot badges - a couple of years ago we had a brand new boxer pool van and the P was missing from day one so was always referred to as the Eugeot. Our department only did 5k in a year and another department who got an identical van at the same time did 25k so we swapped. This one spelt Peugeot but the Lion on the back had fell off and was in the door pocket!

Vauxhall Corsas (older shape, Corsa C?) with the rear wiper hanging down about 20 degrees below horizontal.

Perhaps they all became too depressed to stay up, being attached to such miserable little cars...?
That second sentence made me giggle biggrin

Have we had the mk3 focus inner door rubber hanging out and trapped in the door shut yet
I only became aware as my aunty’s focus keeps doing it and she had a moan about it to me when I last visited.
I have seen at least one a day flapping around ever since,

Our pool car at work has that. Just appears to have been glued into flat metal, so anything amazing it rips it right off

Has anyone else noticed transit vans with no front lights on but rear lights on? How does that happen?
