Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2004 model year cars.
- W12 Vacuum Pipe FailureSerious
Plastic vacuum pipes located behind the engine and over the gearbox become brittle from heat and crack, causing boost leaks and rough idling.
- Air Strut LeakageSerious
The rubber air bags in the suspension struts perish and leak, often leading to a burnt-out compressor.
- Electrical Drain / Battery FailureModerate
The dual-battery system (one for starting, one for systems) can be drained by modules that fail to "sleep," leading to numerous false error messages.
