Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.

The plastic water pump and thermostat housing warp and leak coolant, a well-known weakness across the EA888 range. Some cars fail twice before 100k miles.
- Multitronic CVT FailureSerious
Front-wheel-drive automatics use the Multitronic CVT which can judder, flare or lose drive if fluid changes were skipped or the control unit fails.
- Timing Chain Tensioner FailureSerious
Pre-2013 EA888 Gen 1 and Gen 2 engines have a plastic timing chain tensioner that can fail, causing chain slack and potential engine destruction.
