I want to sell the above vehicle soon, but the last MOT (May 2024) came up with the following advisories, the certificate says PASS with advisories. Is it worth getting the car treated for rust, I'm worried people will be put off. What do you advise?

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
  • Nearside Front Macpherson strut corroded but not seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))
  • Offside Front Macpherson strut corroded but not seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))
  • front wheels corroded
  • Offside Rear wheel corroded
  • nearside /offside inner tierods corroded
Thanks in advance.

    That much rust on a 10 year old car? I guess you must live on the coast somewhere.

    All of that's bolt-on stuff, nothing actually structural.

    Tierods are a consumable.
    Set of used rims (even alloys) for a Joke will be cheap.
    Front dampers aren't expensive, and 10yo ones will be fairly knackered anyway.

    It's getting to the "one big bill away from death" stage soon anyway.
