Yeah, seen some horror pics of 240 corrosion and thought this was not near as bad. However The note on the certificate reads 'affects strength within 30cm of mounting' so I guess thats that.
Was thinking of getting another opinion & MOT at another garage as there was nothing mentioned last year, but obviously will need to face the repairs at some point.
