Rust on sills, wheel arches, and underbody seams
Surface rust bubbles or perforates due to basic anti-corrosion coatings failing in UK damp/salt conditions. · Typical repair: £400-£1,200 (sanding, primer, paint; worse if panels need welding). Estimated at indie garage rates.

Interior rattles and squeaks (dashboard, door cards, seats)
Cheap plastics and seat foam compress/ loosen, causing persistent creaks. · Typical repair: £50-£200 (felt tape, foam, or panel clips). DIY often.

Software bugs or head unit faults cause unresponsiveness. · Typical repair: £100-£400 (reset/software flash or unit swap).
