Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- 3.0 V6 TDI Timing Chain RattleSerious
The upper timing chain tensioners can weaken, causing a distinct rattle on a cold start. If ignored, the chain can jump, causing catastrophic engine damage.
- Air Suspension Compressor FailureSerious
The air suspension compressor can burn out if there is a leak in the system (often from the air struts or valve block). Running the compressor continuously to compensate for leaks leads to overheating.
- EGR Valve Failure (V6 TDI)Moderate
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve on the 3.0 V6 TDI is prone to sticking or carbon buildup, causing loss of power, rough running and engine management warnings. Coolant loss through the EGR into the exhaust is also reported.
