2011 IMiev with warranty replaced battery, non-runner, considering sale - UK, Devon

Could the rust on the brake lines be cleaned off with a metal brush, then prime and paint the lines? Or is the rust more than just on the surface?

Surface rust will generally give an advisory, but "passes" the MOT.
For it to fail , it usually worse although it's not bad enough to be classed as dangerous.
If I covered them up, it should technically pass as MOT testers aren't allowed to remove covers etc, but if I get this job done, it shouldn't need done again.

Good, that really points to a LEV50N pack, but bad for my colleague’s car as his BMU needs to be upgraded to handle the improved cells.

Does anybody out there know, can you just simply swap and the battery and BMU to achieve this?

If I remember correctly, someone else on the forum tried to do this, but I can't find the post..
Are you considering parting out the car?

My 2011 peugeot ion is still for sale, but just failed MOT on corrosion on rear brake pipes.
I would like to get this fixed before I sell it but I read that for the whole brake pipe to be replaced, the battery needs to be removed?

How is the corrosion on your car?

Re corrosion, not great to my untrained eye. Noticed a fair bit around the opening in the boot (that allows access to the high voltage components) for example. There were advisories on the last MOT for rust (and wear) on suspension arm, and track rod end, ball joint dust covers and brake pipe corrosion.

EDIT - missed the part out aspect. Its not off the table to sell bits individually, but I think I'd prefer to shift the whole thing, my storage options are limited.

Cheers.

Any speculation as to what the battery and or car might be worth would be quite welcome.

As it stands, in the absence of any additional interest I think i'll aim to proceed with the hybrid board replacement for p1a15 for now.

Cheers!

Hi Victor,

I've since put a bit of time into repairing the electrical and a few minor mechanical issues. Its got an MOT retest in just over a week. Fingers crossed it goes ok and then i'll drive it for as long as it'll let me, but if not, you may get a message!

Many thanks for the interest.

Update: It just passed the MOT retest, so its back on the road for now.

Regarding the brake pipe discussion, they really were thin in places and needed replacing, they've been rerouted down the side of the battery to avoid dropping it (a great suggestion from within the facebook group).

Cheers for now
