MOT advisory 'corrosion throughout vehicle'

[jondude]

Car passed but this was written - makes sense I guess as the car had been sitting outside unused for over a year.

Question is what to do now? Any recommendations on how to rectify this?

[jondude]

Thanks to you both.

Yes, think I need to take a look underneath if I can as I tend to think it should be light surface rust - is a Mazda 6.

Thanks all. Think I'll also try to remove as much corrosion as I can and see how it goes.

Seeing as you may well know the car, other advisory was ' rear anti roll bar dust cover leaking but not letting in dirt yet' (or something like that).

Are these easy to replace, rather like suspension units just unbolt and put the new rods in??

Thanks again all - I managed to get under the car and would say the advisory is fair but most of the corrosion does indeed look surface to me and a good clean with a wire brush should do it. Exhaust system seems to have taken most of it.

I'll have a go at the links too as they are not too expensive it seems and doable on a Sunday afternoon. (Famous last words....)
