do rusty sills pass mot?

[whileoceanasleeps]

my d/s sill is a bit rusty underneath and it's a little caved in where I put the jack. just wondering if this is something that will fail an mot? everything else is in good order I think

Probably will fail, especially if it's not too far away from a seatbelt mount.

You should scrap it.

HTHs.

seatbelt mount? it's next to the front wheel 

[leigh_harty]

Is it the actual cill or part of the front wing?

Oh right - corroded jacking point, or suspension mounting point then.

Scrap it.

HTHs

Unless its a 16v in which case the mk2 boys will want the engine.

This is part of the 'scrap it' message.

Obviously.

Had to get 3 bits on mine sorted for it to go through the mot.

I had advisories on both sills on my Mk3 for 3 years running before I got mine done.

This was where all 4 jacking points had been squashed up and in one case pushed in!
I would scrape off the surface rust and paint with underseal and you will be fine.
