Hey in my search for a car I can across a W plate uk turbo, all was going well until I opened the boot Found rust coming through on the inner rear wings were the boot closes on both sides also the lower trim strip under the nearside rear cluster. Is this a known problem or a strange 1 off?

 

Rear end crash?

 

Sounds like it's been rear-ended to me, rust isn't a common complaint on these cars despite the awful paint quality. I've had a couple of tiny spots where the paint has been worn through (by the rubber bump stop on the bootlid), but that's all. Mine's a MY00 V reg.

 

Thinking about it it is were the rubber bumps were but its been left by the owner now each spot flaking each spot about the size of an old 50p is the paint really that bad?? How’s the red for fading?

 

If the car's been neglected that badly, walk away. A couple of tiny rust spots should just get fixed - I had them done under warranty and now it's good as new. If the owner's inclined to ignore that sort of obvious maintenance, what else has been ignored?

 

Na its not the one for me just found it on the passing
