Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- 1.9 DDiS Head Gasket and EGR TroubleSerious
The Renault-sourced diesel can suffer coolant-related issues, EGR faults and expensive top-end repairs if it has been overheated or used on unsuitable short trips.
- Transfer Case or 4WD Engagement StiffnessModerate
Cars that spend their lives in two-wheel drive can develop stiff or reluctant engagement in the transfer system, especially if the modes are rarely exercised.
- Chassis Underbody CorrosionModerate
The Grand Vitara is tough but not immune to UK salt, and underbody rust is the main reason otherwise serviceable cars become uneconomic.
