Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely. With an average mileage of 162,236 miles, these vehicles are in the higher-mileage bracket where wear-related failures become more common.
Body, chassis, structure — 1.9% of failures
