I must take the car for yearly check, do you know if this makes my car unsafe? Is this reason to fail the check?

  1. I don’t think it should. This is not safety-crucial element.

    However I’d suggest bending the the part thats protruding, as this could be considered a hazard for others.

  2. It most likely be noted but you won’t fail. Wheel arches are not that crucial. However, having this much of rust I would check sills as rusted out sills can fail your inspection

  3. If you fail you have 2 weeks to fix it, unless there’s something really fundamentally wrong.

  5. Well, it’s sharp. Depending on the inspector, they might give you 2 weeks to fix it and come back.

  6. Any sharp edge sticking out beyond the car’s outline will theoretically cause the car to fail inspection. Chances are good that no one will complain, but I would put some kind of duck tape on it just to be on the safe side.

  8. Just the fender shouldn’t make it fail, but it’s a sign to check what’s going on underneath. B6s rust incredibly fast (especially compared to old B5s, which seem to resist it a lot better)

  9. Check the undercarriage for rust because that might fuck you.

  11. Probably not but they’ll likely look around for more rust underneath

  12. It might- sharp edge increases injuries in the event of collision.

    Sand it, fill it, prime it. Painting is optional.

  13. In Poland if you pay enough you can pass any annual check xd in most places.

  14. All depends where you do yearly check anyway. That said that thing on picture is nothing.
