Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2009 model year cars.
- Electronic Parking Brake FailureModerate
The internal gears of the EPB module strip, causing it to jam or screech.
- Air Suspension Compressor and Bag FailuresSerious
The air suspension system suffers from perished air bags, failing compressors, and leaking valves. The compressor overworks when bags leak and eventually fails.
- EGR Valve Clogging and DPF BlockageModerate
EGR valves clog with soot causing limp mode, power loss and black smoke. The DPF blocks if the vehicle is mainly driven on short urban trips without motorway regeneration runs.
