Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2009 model year cars.
- N14 Timing Chain "Death Rattle"Serious
The "Death Rattle" is the defining issue of the N14-engined Cooper S and JCW. The chain stretches and the tensioner fails, often due to low oil levels, leading to valves hitting pistons if ignored.
- Extreme Oil ConsumptionSerious
Prince engines (N14/N18) can consume up to 1 litre of oil every 1,000 miles. Neglecting this leads to timing chain failure and turbo damage. Many owners fail to check the dipstick regularly enough.
- Footwell Module (FRM) FailureModerate
The FRM controls lights and windows. It is prone to failing if the battery is disconnected or goes flat, or due to water ingress from blocked sunroof drains.
