Thanks all; the search for a CT continues 🤪

Looking at the last address I wouldn't say so but the owner could have worked closer to the sea I guess? OK, thanks. Not sure how that helps; I was asking if it was "normal" for this to happen to a 2011 CT200h.

Hi all, Got a CT200h a couple of weeks back and am a little concerned that the suspension is a tad more rusty than I'd have expected for a 9 year old car. Is this somewhat normal for a CT200h , from 2011? Anyone repaired there's in the areas shows (trailing arms, anti roll bar, drop links, etc.) due to rust rather than worn bushings? Advice/thoughts please. Thanks in advance!

Took a picture of the pipes on ours... looks pretty grim.

I'll take some pictures and reply back when I've got the car!

Just purchased (picking it up this weekend) a 2011 model from a Lexus dealer up north and saw the MOT had the following advisories (as well brakes front and back): Fuel filler pipes corroded Offside Rear Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material (1.1.11 (c)) I spoke to the service guy about the advisories and he said it wasn't bad enough for them to do anything more than clean it up as it was "just surface rust". Fair enough I suppose but still disappointing in that I wasn't expecting anything like the pictures above where work will certainly be required and the cost to repair being quite high for what shouldn't have been an issue [on a modern car]!
