II: water in the footwell, blocked door drains

expensive

The drains inside the doors block up, and the water leaves not outwards but through the sill into the footwell. It goes unnoticed for a long time, because it collects in the foam under the carpet. By the time it gives off a smell, the connectors running in the floor are already corroding. Most of the electronics are under the third row, so look at the carpet there.

What to check

  • Lift the carpet at all four doors and press the foam
  • Open the doors and look at the drain holes at the bottom: are they blocked
  • Look at the storage under the third row of seats and the spare wheel tray

Information, not an expert opinion

We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.

  • A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
  • A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
  • You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
