Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- PCC Hydraulic Accumulator WearSerious
The nitrogen-filled accumulators are wear items with a 3-5 year lifespan. When they fail, the car feels excessively stiff (often called riding on "wagon wheels"). This also causes steering "dead spots" as the system loses pressure regulation. While dealers charge £3,000+, specialists like Thorney Motorsport offer full sets for ~£1,500–£1,800.
- Gearbox Coolant Weep and Input Shaft SealModerate
A slow drip of pink coolant from the gearbox housing indicates the input shaft seal at the clutch/coolant interface is breaking down. Caught early, it is a straightforward seal replacement. If ignored, coolant migrates into clutch oil, causing dual-clutch judder and slipping, requiring a full clutch pack rebuild.
- Nose-Lift Motor FailureModerate
The front-end lift system uses an electric motor that can seize or fail, leaving the car stuck in either the raised or lowered position. Driving with a seized lift motor in the raised position risks damage to the mechanism at speed.
