Hi Mike.
My MGZT had the very same corrosion of the OS rear back plate which in turn eventually damages the bearing & or the sensor, its very funny though 9 time out of 10 its always the OS

I cleaned mine up and treated it, the back plate lasted a further 15 months before it started to get worse, in the end the sills had rotted out, belts needed doing, compressor started to leak, several other items needed to be sorted so I let it go for parts, as I was looking for a tourer anyways.

I still have the back plates in the shed which i hope i will not need for a few more years yet on the NUK as the back plate when i had the drum off last week to clean out the dust looked in good order so they were painted.

Hope you are keeping well and staying safe
