Welding
During a MOT
Test all
vehicles are
assessed for
corrosion.
Corrosion that
is either in a
prescribed
area, IE. Seat
Belt Mountings,
Brake
System Mounting
Points,
Steering
Mounting
Points or
as part of the
Body
Structure will
need to be
repaired
by
a continuous
MIG Weld.
In the case of Body
Sills it is often
better to replace
the sill than to
repair it with a
patch which,
although is a
satisfactory repair
for MOT purposes,
will not prolong the
life of the vehicle
beyond what is
expected. Sill
replacement is
usually the best
method of repair in
this case
as was the case in
the picture to the
right. The original
sill had been
repaired with
patches
on numerous
occasions and
eventually the
corrosion resurfaced
and sill replacement
was the only way to
fully rectify this
problem.
On other areas of
the vehicle it is
usually sufficient
to repair the
corrosion with a
patch of
metal which must be
continuously welded
