- Floorpan, Sill, and Inner Arch CorrosionSerious
The 145 and 146 were built prior to comprehensive modern zinc galvanising. Moisture trapped beneath factory underseal, behind plastic wheel arch liners, and within structural sill sections causes severe rusting. In the UK, road salt rots the floorpan seams, jacking points, and front bulkhead seams, resulting in structural MOT failures if neglected.
- Rear Trailing Arm Bearing WearModerate
The rear suspension on the 145 and 146 utilizes trailing arms pivoting on needle roller bearings housed in the rear crossmember. Road dirt and water wash past degraded grease seals, causing the needle bearings to seize, wear, and collapse. This results in severe negative rear wheel camber, rear tyre scrubbing on inner arch liners, and loose, unstable handling.
