Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- Blocked "Duckbill" AC DrainModerate
The rubber drain for the AC evaporator sticks shut, causing condensation to overflow into the passenger footwell.
- Water Pump Failure (5.0 V8)Serious
The 5.0L engine has a notoriously weak water pump that can fail suddenly, leading to rapid overheating.
- CATS Active Damping FailureModerate
The electronic components inside the adaptive dampers (standard on most X150s) tend to fail around 60,000 miles, causing the suspension to default to a fixed setting. The car may display a suspension fault warning and ride quality becomes noticeably harsher or inconsistent.
