Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2005 model year cars.
- Door Handle Carrier SnappingModerate
The cast-zinc internal carrier for the exterior door handles is brittle and snaps, making it impossible to open the door from the outside.
- Rear Air Suspension LeaksSerious
The rear air bags perish and develop leaks. If left, the compressor will overwork and fail, leading to a much larger bill.
- Front CV Boots & DriveshaftsModerate
The front CV boots tear frequently, allowing dirt to destroy the outer CV joints. If caught early, it is a cheap fix; otherwise, the whole shaft needs replacement.
