Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2008 model year cars.
- Rear pneumatic air suspension bellows failureSerious
Exclusive models equipped with rear pneumatic self-levelling suspension suffer from perish and cracking of the rubber air bellows. Air leaks cause the rear suspension to collapse overnight, forcing the air compressor to run continuously until it burns out, resulting in a harsh unyielding ride and suspension failure alerts.
- EGS automated transmission clutch judder and false neutralSerious
The six-speed Electronic Gearbox System (EGS) automated manual utilizes electro-hydraulic actuators for clutch control. Wear in the clutch friction plate, software miscalibration and hydraulic actuator seal failure cause pronounced judder pulling away, hesitant gear selection, or dropping into false neutral during low-speed deceleration.
- Electronic parking brake actuator mechanism faultModerate
The electric parking brake (EPB) uses an electric motor and cable control unit mounted underneath the vehicle. Corrosion of cables from UK road grime and moisture ingress into the control unit cause the parking brake to bind, fail to release automatically on drive-off, or illuminate yellow parking brake fault warnings.
