They corrode despite their young age.Cars that rust too early


If you think that when buying a relatively young car, you will not have problems at least with corrosion, you are wrong.We present a list of poorly protected corrosion cars at a young age.


Corrosion is still a problem and it's growing

It could be expected that producers have dealt with such a trivial problem as corrosion over several dozen years.Meanwhile, it turns out that it is exactly the opposite.One of the reasons for this is saving on the varnish and the protection against corrosion itself.While 15-20 years ago, the thickness of the factory varnish layer was about 100-120 micrometers, today it is very often a value below 100.

Even worse, modern varnishes are weak, soft, not resistant to scratches and are quickly damaged.One of the biggest problems are abrasions that occur in the places of contact of sheet metal or on connections with plastic elements.In addition, manufacturers save on the anti -corrosion protection of the chassis and on protective materials, e.g..plastic internal wheel arches are not mounted.

Unfortunately, rust is probably the biggest problem of modern cars today.A long -term warranty on the body does not help, often lasting 10 years or more.The problem is that manufacturers are responsible separately for varnish defects and the perforation of the body. Dlatego okres gwarancyjny na te obszary jest skrajnie różny — na lakier zwykle krótszy.What's more, perforation is not the same as corrosion raids.

And what is superficial corrosion?Of course, the disadvantage of varnish, because perforation is already a thick layer of rust.And what about the warranty then?Is not much worth.What's more, so that it does not lose its validity, regular visits to authorized services for body reviews are necessary.Meanwhile, many users give up visiting the ASO as soon as the mechanical guarantee is over.

In this ranking, dangerously quickly corroding, young cars, I took into account only those carts who are really difficult to find rustic raids, and even deep perforation.Although sometimes it happens that corrosion is hidden in places where the owner never looks.I only chose from relatively young models and those that actually corrode from use, not because they were repaired after a collision.However, I skipped cars that had the so -called. wpadki, czyli jeden element ulegał korozji — na przykład tylna klapa.

Fast corroding, young cars

Dacia Logan I (2004–2012)

Logan pierwszej generacji jest z pozoru samochodem starym — zadebiutował w 2004 roku.However, the production was completed only in 2012, so you can buy this car fairly fresh.Unfortunately, even in the case of younger copies, we advise you to see the body well, especially all doors, including the tailgate, the area around the seals and the bottom part, and in the flap also the lock area.In addition, be sure to look at the fenders, primarily from the inside.The next points to be checked are the gutters and around the fuel filler flip.The second stage of the inspection should be the bottom of the car.

Korodują mimo młodego wieku. Auta, które rdzewieją zbyt wcześnie

Ford S-Max (2006–2014)

While Ford Focusy and Mondeo of the third generation are basically not the worst of the corrosion, the S-Max presented in 2006 scored a few mishaps.Mondeo also happened minor problems, but this is not a car that could be entered on the list. Niestety — w przeciwieństwie do niego, S-Max się tu nadaje bardzo dobrze.Rust appears in many places from the mask, through the roof and door, and ending on the trunk lid.It is also on the chassis, which is particularly concerned about.In the case of S-Max, it is worth visiting each seal.

Honda Jazz III (2008–2015), Civic VIII (2005–2012) and Accord VIII (2008–2015)

Everyone probably knows that Honda rusting, but not everyone is aware of the fact that this applies to even the youngest cars.Civic and Accord models are particularly at risk of rust attacks.The latter, shortly after leaving the factory, have problems with muddy edges and thresholds.Unfortunately, the worst is in closed profiles.WATO look into the elements to which the bumpers are fastened.In terms of anti -corrosion protection, Accord VIII is not better than VII, and he is already far from Accord VI, which is quite good against the background of much younger siblings.

Gwoli ścisłości — niemal wszystkie Accordy VI są już skorodowane (bardziej lub mniej), ale to samochody już dwudziestoletnie.For many years for many years they coped with corrosion better than the models of subsequent generations.

Unfortunately, we have an analogous situation with Civik, but also a smaller Honda City.While in older generations we get for free from the previous owner, in the younger ones from the manufacturer himself.

Corrosion is not visible at first glance, but just look at the roof connecting area with the windshield to find its first signs.The same applies to wagons with a sunroof and its seals. Następnie obejrzyjcie dobrze bok samochodu — w okolicy nadkoli, ostatniego słupka i lusterka możecie odnaleźć purchle na lakierze.Advanced corrosion is already under the nice shiny coating.If a small bump happens to you and you need to remove the front bumper, it will probably turn out that the mounting is already heavily corroded.The suspension auxiliary frame can also have rusty raids.

Honda Jazz are also not resistant to rust.In addition to the elements mentioned at Civic, I advise you to look under each gasket and look carefully at the whole chassis.These cars often do not have perforation yet, but clear traces suggest that you will not have to wait long for it

Hyundai i10 (2007–2013), i20 (2004–2014) and i30 (2007–2012)

These three relatively young cars, unfortunately, struggle with the same problem.It is superficial, but often occurring corrosion on sheet metal connections and rear flap elements.The area around the door handles and locks is very vulnerable to perforation, and in i30 there are still door frames.You have to look at each gasket and see the engine mask, because the Korean manufacturer saved heavily on the varnish.

Kia Venga (2009–2016) and CEE'D (2006–2012)

In a small Venga, it is best to start looking for corrosion with the examination of the chassis, because it occurs on the elements of the suspension fastening.Later, you can take a look at the body and view the trunk lid and all the edges of the metal elements from the roof, through the door, and ending with the wheel arches.Take a look at any seal.

It is slightly worse in the case of Kia CEE'D of the first generation, i.e. the technical twin Hyundai i30.Here it rust exactly the same.The entire body and even the chassis are compulsory.Elements of suspension fastening, joining sheets, edges, edges and places under the gaskets.The list is long.

Mazda 6 II (2007–2012)

The problem of corrosion also applies to other Mazda models, for example, Sports MX-5 or a smaller model 2, but this is not a much worry yet.Model 6 owners have worse. Korodować może właściwie każdy fragment nadwozia — ranty, nadkola, klapa bagażnika, progi, podłoga.In addition, Purchle appears.Seals sometimes hide advanced corrosion.What seems harmless today in a few years will end like in the predecessor.It's better, but only because Mazda 6 GH is simply a younger car.Check out any metal element, because there may be rust under it.

Mazda 3 of the second generation looks much better in terms of corrosion protection, marked with the BL code, produced in 2009–2013.Unfortunately, the quality of the varnish is far from ideal.There are also the first reservations about the newer generations of Mazda 3 and 6, but let's wait with the assessment.

Mercedes Class A (2004–2012) and class B (2005–2011)

Mercedes problems with corroding models seem to be forgetful, but still touch some passenger cars, produced at this poor period, for example, class A model manufactured from 2004 to 2012.Especially on the doors and edges of the door, but also on the trunk lid and in the fenders you can find considerable corrosion raids or simply advanced rust.It does not fit a bit to both the brand and the very pleasant model.

Almost the same can be said about class b.The car debuted a year after the A-class A and after three or four years often required the tinsmith's intervention.It is different today - a lot depends on the way the car is used and storing.Unfortunately, rust appears not only on the body, but also in the chassis.

Mitsubishi L200 (2006–2015) and Nissan Navara (2005–2015)

Although these two cars do not even belong to one brand, in terms of anti -corrosion protection they are similar to each other that I mention them in one place.The biggest problem is rust penetrating the load -bearing frame.Of course, it can be said that in off -road vehicles it is nothing special.The third generation Pajero is also struggling with this problem, although there is no frame as such. To także problem innej terenówki — Land Rovera Discovery III.

However, in these two mentioned pick-ups, this is particularly disturbing.Unfortunately, apart from the frame, the problem also applies to suspension elements (attention to springs) and the drive and exhaust system.Rust appears on the door, the floor and the roof.It is worth looking for her under the seals, under the fastening of the relations in Navara and all sorts with plastic overlays in L200.
