Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- EDC Gearbox Shudder and Actuator FailureSerious
The dual-clutch EDC gearbox can suffer from jerky shifts, shuddering when moving off, or complete loss of drive due to actuator failure. This is often exacerbated by heavy urban use in the UK. Software updates can help, but hardware failure is common.
- 1.2 TCe Oil Consumption (H5F Engine)Serious
The early 1.2 TCe engine is notorious for high oil consumption, often leading to low oil pressure, timing chain stretch, and total engine failure. This is caused by excessive vacuum in the intake manifold pulling oil past the piston rings.
