Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2014 model year cars.
- 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.
- Air Conditioning Compressor Shaft Spline FailureModerate
The rubber-buffered drive hub and splines on the air conditioning compressor can shear, causing complete loss of cabin air conditioning. On mid-engined R8s, replacement is labor-intensive.
