Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2009 model year cars.
- Fixed-hub steering wheel switchgear and clockspring wiring failureModerate
The innovative fixed-centre steering wheel houses stationary horn and multimedia buttons while the rim rotates. The internal flexible wiring ribbon (clockspring) suffers fatigue and fractures over repeated steering cycles, disabling the horn, cruise control buttons or triggering the airbag warning light.
- 1.6 HDi turbo failure from oil feed pipe carbon cloggingSerious
The 1.6-litre HDi 16V engine utilizes a fine gauze filter inside the turbocharger oil feed banjo bolt. Soot and carbon from leaking injector copper seals contaminate the engine oil, blocking this filter and starving turbo bearings, resulting in rapid turbo destruction and oil contamination.
