Mine failed on inner and outer sill rot. On asking the garage to do it they said take it round to the local welder, it will be cheaper than us, so 2 hours later that job was done. The DANGEROUS FAIL was a cut in a tyre exposing the cords, but of course I drove it home. Also failed on suspension arm outer ball joint, but I had to take it back to the garage for this to be done on the retest as a previous owner had grossly over-tightened the ball joint taper bolt, and also the clamp bolt which was stretched and also sheared on removal!. Took two guys an hour to shift the ball joint from the sub-frame.
