Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- "Death Wobble"Serious
A violent vibration of the steering wheel and front wheels, usually triggered by a bump at speed.
- 4WD Vacuum Hub FailureModerate
The front hubs engage via vacuum; a small leak in a rubber hose will prevent 4WD from working.
- Clutch and Manual Gearbox WearModerate
The clutch can wear prematurely, especially on cars used for off-road driving or towing. The manual gearbox can also develop synchro wear, particularly on 2nd gear, leading to crunching during changes.
