Help! Rust Perforation Warranty - Underbody

At my last inspection, my technician found extreme rust perforation on the original underbody of my 2009 Mini Cooper Clubman. The vehicle only has 57k miles and has spent a significant portion of its life protected in a garage. I have met or exceeded the warranty service guidelines.


Has anyone had luck getting work done on the underbody, subframe, suspension, etc under the rust perforation warranty? Any examples would be helpful!




Thank you!

Geez, how come this was not noticed before when doing the oil changes? That looks pretty rough under there.

Are you Sponge Bob? Living under the sea? As I recall you need to have the car inspected by MINI at certain intervals to maintain a warranty. Not 100% sure on that however. Seems like this should have been caught and dealt with at a much earlier stage.

Good luck, I don't envy your task.
