There have been reports of rusting problems in some Mahindra XUV models, particularly the XUV500. The rust typically appears on the doors, door sills, and wheel arches.

There are a few possible reasons for the rusting. One possibility is that the metal used in the XUV500 is not as corrosion-resistant as it should be. Another possibility is that the paintwork on the XUV500 is not as thick as it should be, which allows moisture to penetrate the metal and cause rust.

Mahindra has acknowledged the rusting problem and has offered to repair affected vehicles. However, some owners have complained that the repairs have not been effective.

If you are considering buying a Mahindra XUV, it is important to be aware of the rusting problem. You should inspect the vehicle carefully for signs of rust before you buy it. You should also ask the dealer about the manufacturer's warranty and how it will cover rust problems.

Here are some tips to help prevent rust on your Mahindra XUV:

• Wash your car regularly. This will help to remove dirt and debris that can trap moisture and cause rust.
• Wax your car regularly. This will help to protect the paintwork from the elements.
• Inspect your car for signs of rust regularly. If you see any rust, take it to a dealer or body shop to have it repaired as soon as possible.
