Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- 1.2 PureTech "Wet Belt" DegradationSerious
The timing belt runs in oil and can degrade, shedding debris that blocks the oil pickup. This leads to oil starvation, vacuum pump failure, and a dangerous loss of braking assistance (Recall R/2020/331).
- AdBlue Tank and Pump FailureSerious
The AdBlue system on BlueHDi diesels is prone to pump failure, often requiring a full tank replacement.
- Exhaust Back Box DetachmentModerate
The exhaust back box support rod or joint can corrode prematurely, causing the muffler to hang low or detach entirely.
