Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- Electronic parking-brake faultsModerate
The EPB module or rear caliper motors can fail or become slow to release, leaving warning messages, dragging brakes or an MOT headache.
- Heater resistor and blower-motor wiring failuresModerate
A failed resistor pack or overheated wiring connector can leave the blower stuck on one speed or dead altogether, which is a common annoyance on Mk3 Scenics.
- Front suspension bush and drop-link wearModerate
Even the improved Mk3 still wears front links, bushes and top mounts fairly regularly on UK roads, so knocks and repeat MOT advisories are common on tired examples.
