Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- Infotainment System FailureModerate
The main head unit can suffer from hard drive failure or touchscreen desensitisation.
- Lower Control Arm Bush WearModerate
The massive weight of the GT leads to premature wear of the front suspension bushes, affecting handling and tyre wear.
- Turbo Oil Strainer FailureSerious
The twin-turbo W12 models can suffer from clogged oil strainers feeding the turbochargers, leading to oil starvation and turbo failure. This is a particularly expensive repair as both turbos may need replacement.
