Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- LED DRL and headlamp-unit failureModerate
A common annoyance on better-specced JD models: DRLs or internal lamp electronics fail, often meaning expensive replacement of the complete headlamp unit.
- CRDi clutch, DMF and DPF wearModerate
The diesels can cover big mileage, but city use and towing accelerate clutch, flywheel and DPF costs. Bargain JD diesels often hide a four-figure bill.
