I have recently purchased a 2005 182 from a friend which had been MOT'd 2.5 months ago by a garage I know well and trust.
I noticed that the drivers side front CV boot was split so booked the car into the same garage that had MOT'd the car, they have noticed that both bottom balls joints are absolutely shot, the drivers side was very close to suffering catastrophic failure.
Is this a common problem or known weak point of the car?
The car is standard and low mileage (38,000 miles)
