Rear subframe
 
Hi everyone
2001 wrx uk300
After some advice please!
Rear subframe has lots of surface rust a small hole on either side where it bolts to car
, so I’d like to know if it’s an MOT FAILURE ?
Mostly it’s solid but looks **** so I painted it with hammerite
I replaced the front subframe last year as it was shot !!

I'd be surprised if that wasn't a major failure unfortunately.

That's a mot fail as it's not structurally sound if you are looking for a replacement speak to Matt Baker hes on Facebook.

The car is solid no rust at all but the subframe
Has so much surface rust it’s unbelievable,bloody cars!
Although the rest of it is solid as I went round it with a hammer earlier today!!

The way its rusted underneath makes me wonder if its spent a lot of time parked on something damp. How long have you had it? This is what you usually see when a car has been parked up on grass for long periods of time.

I wonder whether it spent a lot of time parked on anything wet because of how corroded it looks below. For how long do you have it? When a car has been parked on grass over an extended period of time, you typically see something like this.
