Rust Repair Guide for Peugeot Vehicles

Rust is a long-term concern for many Peugeot owners, especially in parts of Australia where weather and terrain expose vehicles to the elements.

While Peugeot vehicles are generally well-built with corrosion-resistant coatings, no brand is completely immune to oxidation. Over time, road salt, moisture, and environmental wear can cause rust to form on body panels and structural areas.

How rust affects the long-term value of your Peugeot

Rust isn’t just a cosmetic issue. It can lead to serious damage, especially on older Peugeot vehicles or those that see frequent outdoor use.

Corrosion lowers resale value, affects insurance assessments, and, if left unchecked, can compromise roadworthiness. Spotting rust early is the best way to protect the integrity of your Peugeot.

Typical rust zones on Peugeot vehicles

While the exact placement varies by body style, the following areas are commonly affected:

  • Bottoms of doors and behind wheel trims

  • Boot floor and spare tyre compartment

  • Front and rear wheel arches

  • Underside, especially around jack points and suspension mounts

  • Windscreen surround, especially near corners

What can Peugeot drivers expect when booking rust repair?

Repair processes depend on severity:

  • Light surface rust may be treated with sanding and repainting

  • More advanced scale rust requires grinding, filler, sealing and respraying

  • Penetrating rust often demands cutting, welding, and replacing metal

The average cost for rust repairs on cars in Australia ranges from $506 to $942, with more severe damage potentially exceeding that range into the thousands.

  • Clean your vehicle regularly, including less visible areas like wheel wells

  • Reapply protective wax or sealants every few months

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to salty roads or coastal air without rinsing the undercarriage

  • Consider rustproofing treatments if you plan to keep the vehicle for many years
