Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2015 model year cars.
- Boxer Diesel Crankshaft and Bearing FailureSerious
Early SJ diesels still carry the same core EE20 weakness as the SH, with bearing wear or crankshaft failure capable of ending the engine without much warning.
- Lineartronic CVT Valve Body FailureSerious
The SJ’s Lineartronic automatic can suffer failed solenoids in the valve body, bringing on warning lights, jerky take-up and expensive dealer quotes.
- Air-Conditioning Compressor FailureModerate
SJ Foresters can lose cooling because the compressor or clutch assembly wears out, a fault many owners only notice when summer arrives.
