Warranty Claim for wheel arch paint bubble 2016 Anti-Perforation Warranty

[NeilHH]

Hi

My 2016 Seat Leon has rust on a part of the front right wheel arch. I have taken the car to a car body shop and they say that there is a lip on the inside of the wheel arch and that is where the damage has started causing the paintwork to bubble. They see this a lot on Seats and VW Golfs

I then went to the Seat garage that services the car and they sent me to an approved coachworks place. This was in September 2025. The Seat garage has told me that my car is not covered under warranty

I have tried claiming under their Anti-Perforation Warranty which I understand lasts for 12 years

Does anyone have any advice ?

Thanks

There are no items covered under warranty where the cause of the issue is damage.

I take it they suggested road debris had broken the paint on the wheel arch lip?

There’s a 67 reg Passat in our street that looks like it was made by British Leyland in 1975 there’s that much rust on the rear wheel arches.
