hi forim can anyone help us?
my daughter has fell in love witha 2001 micra 1.0 its from a dealer has a recorded mileage of 23000 miles and this can be backed up with previous MOTs Now the last MOT has a message on the advisory of rear axle corrosion?
so We are in your hands any helpful comments are very welcome as to what to do and whether we should purchase@ £1500
 
an axle change is a mission tes, and can easily write off the car (like on this W reg one)

but for example in the picture which you have posted that would be able to be welded if i am not mistaken :), but it strange how some car like this one with low mileage have rusted through axels, for example i have a 1997 sr and it has strong axel's still and has seen 4 time more miles than this car :/
 
You don´t use rust protection methods in england? :)

For the original problem, you can get decent axle from a scrapper cheapish i think.

seems a little pricey to me.

Better off looking for another thats solid underneath for that sort of money
