Hi,
I'm looking to buy a second hand 2015/2016 Leaf in the rainy UK. I've read about the issue with rust on the front side suspension strut. The last two cars have had some rust here. (see photos below). The question is - how bad is this? Would you buy a car with this level of rust? What's the right way to asses this? Should I ask them to clean it up first? Is it likely to be an MOT failure (I'm in the UK)? If it did, how much would it cost to put right?
Many thanks for your advice.
