how much will this cost to put right?
Discussion
My Lexus IS250 currently in for its MOT, just had a quick check and it's failed on the following.
- Nearside Rear Subframe mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength (5.3.6 (a) (i))
Not sure what this means but is doesn't sound good. 😰
Car has flown though it's MOT every year for the last 10 years with no advisories aside from tyre wear. Certainly no advisories for subframe or any other corrosion.
What work will need to be done and how much is this likely to cost?
Any advice about this would be much appreciated guys

Ah, that's unfortunate...
I'm afraid from the sounds of it that the corrosion may have reached the lower ball flange. If it has then its likely affected the reticulating dingle arm and then significant work would be required to bring it up to spec.
The LUMA shafts and hygroscopic marsel vane will then need aligning along with the serving bearings and panometric fan.
Expect anywhere in the region of £2000 to £2500.

As above you need pictures, but it either has corrosion or a hole within 30cm of the mounting point, as prescribed in this manual I found in a Google search.

Appendix A appears to be the guidance and the rule is below, if that helps.

It’s one of those three bullets.- Nearside Rear Subframe mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength (5.3.6 (a) (i))

Nooo, not the dingle arm! Hopefully the turbo encabulator is still intact...I'm afraid from the sounds of it that the corrosion may have reached the lower ball flange. If it has then its likely affected the reticulating dingle arm and then significant work would be required to bring it up to spec.
