I had an advisory on my last mot saying there was corrosion at front of my car but not seriously affecting structural integrity. I think this was referring to surface rust on the sub frame below the engine.
Ive noticed there is a rust hole in the lower side section of one of the front wings and there is some movement in the panel. Are the front wings mot items? Will it fail unless I replace it? Can I still legally drive the car till the mot expires?
Cheers

As what you are saying I don't think so
