Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2006 model year cars.
- SCV & PRV FailureModerate
The Suction Control Valve and Pressure Relief Valve on the common rail system frequently fail, leading to uneven idling and cutting out.
- Oil Pump Failure (2.2 Duratorq)Serious
Early 2.2-litre Euro 4/5 engines have a fragile oil pump design that can fail without warning, causing total engine seizure.
- Common-Rail Injector Blow-By and Seal FailureSerious
The copper injector sealing washers on 2.2 and 2.4 TDCi Duratorq engines degrade over time, permitting high-pressure combustion blow-by gases to escape up the injector body. This forms hard carbon deposits known as 'black death', risks bore wash, and can cause piston crown melting.
