Your Car’s Subframe Could Be a Hidden Safety Hazard

At 1Stop Motor Shop, we recently inspected a vehicle and immediately discovered a rotten rear subframe, making it unfit for the road – a VERY DANGEROUS issue that could have led to a serious accident before going for its Mot Test in Newtownabbey.

 

Why a Rotten Subframe is a Major Risk

The subframe is a crucial structural component that supports your car’s suspension, engine, and drivetrain. If it’s weakened by rust or corrosion, it can severely impact handling, stability, and safety. Left unchecked, this could result in:

  • MOT failure
  • Loss of vehicle control
  • Expensive repairs or full subframe replacement
  • Safety risks for you and other road users

 

How to Spot a Rotten Subframe

Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore:

  • Knocking noises when driving
  • Uneven tyre wear or poor alignment
  • Visible rust or holes underneath your car
  • Poor handling or vibrations
