Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- 1.0 1KR-FE EGR Valve Carbon Clogging and Engine StallingModerate
Urban-driven 1.0-litre three-cylinder models suffer from heavy soot and carbon buildup within the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve and intake manifold channels. Persistent short urban trips prevent the engine from reaching self-cleaning temperatures, causing the valve pintle to stick open. This introduces unmetered exhaust gas into the intake charge at low rpm, causing rough hunting idle, jerking under light throttle, and unexpected engine stalling when stopping at junctions.
- Multidrive CVT Automatic Transmission Judder on Take-OffModerate
The optional Multidrive continuously variable transmission (CVT) can develop a noticeable shudder and hesitation when setting off from a standstill, particularly on upward gradients. The fault stems from degraded CVT fluid, contaminated solenoid valves within the hydraulic valve body, or slippage of the steel drive belt across the variable pulleys due to missed fluid changes.
