Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- Tailgate Wiring Loom FatigueModerate
Even the late facelift cars can lose the rear wiper, boot switch or plate lights because the tailgate loom still flexes and breaks with age.
- Front Suspension Bush and Drop-Link WearModerate
By the time these cars hit typical UK used-car mileage, worn front bushes and drop links are common and show up as clonks, vague steering or uneven tyre wear.
- DPF and EGR FoulingModerate
Late Euro 6 diesel Giuliettas do not enjoy repeated short trips. Soot loading and sticky EGR valves can bring on warning lights and limp-mode behaviour.
