So how long should shocks last, mine are the original ones from 18 years ago, and in case you didn't know...
It passed its MOT again last week, first time, no advisories :doh:doh

In the old days shocks only lasted about 5 years:augie
I guess the more off roading, the greater the wear, so shorter life.

Mine lasted 15 years with lots of towing and offroad abuse so I replaced them with stock ones.

But did they find any rust? :p

Err no...
It was the fuel tank that was rusty, a seam split, and that was behind my shed...


There are a few spots to sort, the front out riggers to the front bumper, but MOT never mentioned anything.:thumbs

There are a few places on the chassis in high wash areas, front lower suspension wish bone, where the waxoyl has lifted, so a light wire brush and another coat of waxoyl will sort that.

Best regards,

Rustic
