In comes 30000 km service on a prado
after opening the bonnet i knew this was trouble.....
after lifting the car in the air i found the bash plate mounts had rusted off and what i saw wasn't pretty......
in some spots it was possible to chip a hole through the chassis with a screwdriver if i was so inclined
some really good rust on suspension mounting items......
ill let you guess what the exhaust leak was due to .....
the scariest thing was that this car is constantly used for towing and the towbar mounts have almost rusted through
These photos don't do justice to the amount of damage done to the vehicle simply due to laziness!
not really specific daihatsu tech but i think is a good reason to pay some more attention to our vehicles.
p.s if anyone was wondering, the customer was well informed about the state of their vehicle and has been recommended to have the car towed to a wreckers or set it on fire.
