Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2009 model year cars.
- Roof Channel CorrosionModerate
Rust often forms under the roof-channel trim strips.
- LCD Dashboard Display FailureModerate
The two-tier dashboard uses an LCD panel for speed and key information that can fade, develop dead pixels, or fail entirely with age, making critical information difficult to read.
- Immobiliser Battery DrainModerate
The immobiliser system can draw excessive current when parked, draining the battery over several days. Cars left unused for a week or more may fail to start.
