Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.

The electric tailgate mechanism often weakens or stops working, leaving the boot reluctant to open fully or stay up.
- D5 cam cover and breather oil leaksModerate
The older D5 engine can leak oil from the cam cover and PCV-related areas, and oil contamination near the auxiliary belt should not be ignored.
- Haldex pump failureModerate
AWD cars can lose rear-drive assistance when the Haldex pump or its filter clogs through missed servicing.
