Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2002 model year cars.
- Front Suspension Wishbone Void Bush Degradation & Ball Joint PlayModerate
The front lower wishbone rear voided rubber bushes split and tear under heavy braking and cornering, while ball joints develop play, leading to knock noises over speed cushions and uneven front tyre wear.
- 1.8T Push-Fit Ignition Coil Pack Insulation BreakdownModerate
The individual push-fit ignition coil packs located atop each spark plug suffer thermal fatigue from turbocharger heat, breaking down internally and creating sudden engine misfires under load.
- Central Convenience Module (CCM) Water Ingress from Scuttle Drain ClogsSerious
Decaying autumn leaves block the rubber scuttle drain bungs beneath the windscreen wiper motor. Rainwater backs up and spills through the pollen filter housing or wiring grommets directly onto the Central Convenience Module under the carpet.
