Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.
- Air Suspension FailureSerious
Air struts leak and the compressor burns out trying to compensate. This is a common and expensive reality of aging luxury cars.
- 4.0 TFSI Turbo Strainer BlockageSerious
A tiny oil strainer screen feeding the twin turbos can block with carbon, starving the turbos of oil and causing rapid, catastrophic failure.
- 3.0 TDI Timing Chain RattleSerious
The V6 TDI timing chains sit at the rear of the engine and can stretch, creating cold-start rattle and requiring gearbox removal for repair.
