Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- Rear Brake Caliper Binding and Heavy Pad WearModerate
Corrosion around the rear pads and sliders can stop the brakes retracting cleanly, leading to hot wheels, rapid pad wear and MOT advisories.
- 2.2 i-DTEC DPF and EGR CloggingModerate
The diesel engine is fundamentally strong, but repeated short journeys can clog the DPF and EGR system, causing limp mode and expensive cleaning or replacement work.
- Dual-Mass Flywheel (DMF) BreakupSerious
On diesel manual models, the dual-mass flywheel can degrade over time, causing a rattle when pulling away or loud clunks during gear changes.
