Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2015 model year cars.
- DPF and EGR clogging on CRDi modelsModerate
Like many family SUVs, short journeys clog the DPF and EGR system, causing poor economy, limp mode and repeat warning lights on otherwise strong engines.
- AWD coupling and rear differential noiseModerate
Matched tyres and correct servicing matter. Neglect can lead to rear-coupling judder or differential whine, especially on higher-mileage AWD Sportages.
- Rear suspension bush and link wearModerate
A common UK wear theme rather than a design disaster. Bushes, links and dampers tire, leaving the rear of the car noisy and unsettled.
