Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- Head Gasket Failure (2.5L Engines)Serious
The 2.5L EJ25 engine in the SG XT is prone to external coolant and oil leaks from the head gaskets, eventually leading to overheating. UK MOT data records engine oil/coolant leaks and exhaust leaks as a recurring failure area on this generation.
- Self-Levelling Suspension (SLS) FailureModerate
The original rear struts leak and sag over time, leaving the rear of the SG sitting low, especially when towing or loaded. Suspension is a leading MOT failure area on this generation, and genuine OEM SLS parts are expensive in the UK.
- Rear Subframe and Mounting Point CorrosionModerate
UK road salt attacks the rear subframe and its suspension mounting points, often before the body panels look especially rusty. Corrosion around prescribed areas is a recorded MOT failure on this generation and can become structural if ignored.
