Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 1997 model year cars.
- Blocked Plenum DrainsSerious
Leaves and debris block the drains, leading to water entering the cabin and damaging the CCM.
- Front Multi-Link Suspension WearModerate
The C5 uses a sophisticated aluminium multi-link front suspension with eight control arms per side. Bushings harden and ball joints develop play, causing clunks and vague steering.
- ABS Module FailureModerate
The Bosch 5.3/5.7 ABS control unit develops internal solder faults, triggering ABS and brake warning lights and sometimes causing speedometer dropouts.
