A few about now with rotten rear arms.
Quick job to replace and readily available.

It's taken 10 years plus for this to happen 75's.
It happens to lesser cars as soon as 5years old............eg Corsa

Yeah he had a disabled badge. If he's anything like me He may not have seen the passenger side of his car for some time!

Could his wheel come off??

Crikey, that's properly gone! A wonder it wasn't picked up on the last MOT, as they don't just rot through in a year.

I have plenty here, thankfully. Glad the panic of them being NLA and supply from China drying up is gone.

Surely you'd know if that had happened?

Hence I'd guess it's been left until the owner can get it recovered or most likely scrapped, myself

Agreed, that cant be driveable.

As it was driven into the parking space it must have steered like a shopping trolley.
