261002609926101Hi all, newbie here and would really appreciate some advice.
I purchased a 2010 60 plate A3 2.0TDI Sportback 4 weeks ago from a well establised independant dealership. The car had 2 previous owners, FSH but not all Audi and only 38,400 miles. It is in very good nick both inside and out HOWEVER having a nose around underneath it yesterday I noticed a bit of rust at the rear that I wouldnt expect on a car of this age.
I also have a Skoda Favia vRS that I purchased new in 2004 (so now 10 years old) and i took a look under that yesterday and there isnt nearly as much rust, if any.
I have attached pics, one of the car to give you an idea of its general condition, and two of the rear underside. Is this rust excessive? Should I be concerned? I have had a tap around and every part still has that solid metallic sound, but I'm still convinced that it shouldn't look this rusted already?
Any feedback would be gratefully recieved, thanks.
