Why do exhaust systems wear out? The exhaust system may suffer as a result of uncontrollable environmental factors like the weather and traffic. Salt and other chemicals used on the roads in the winter for traffic safety can cause exterior corrosion, which can lead to exhaust system failure. Reduce the corrosive effects of salt on your car by regularly washing it during the winter. The durability of the exhaust system might also be affected by the state of the roads. By making a hole in the exhaust system components or jarring hangers and other parts loose, running over a rock or other piece of road debris or bottoming out in a pothole can cause external damage. Search check MOT history to see if this has been a previous issue.
