Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- Front Frame / Chassis Leg CrackingSerious
The front aluminium frame rails can crack near the suspension mounting points, especially if the car has hit a large pothole or been tracked hard.
- Magnetic Ride Shock Absorber LeaksSerious
The adaptive MagneRide dampers frequently leak fluid and lose their damping ability. They usually need replacing in pairs at huge cost.
- 4.2 FSI V8 Direct-Injection Intake Valve Carbon BuildupModerate
Direct fuel injection means fuel never washes over the intake valves, leading to heavy carbon crusting in the ports, reduced top-end power, and lumpy idle.
