Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- Air Suspension Compressor FailureSerious
The air suspension compressor can burn out if there is a leak in the system (often from the air struts or valve block). Running the compressor continuously to compensate for leaks leads to overheating.
- DPF Clogging (Urban Use)Moderate
The Diesel Particulate Filter clogs on cars predominantly driven in town or on short trips. Forced regeneration failures lead to warning lights and restricted performance.
- Panoramic Sunroof LeakModerate
The large panoramic sunroof can develop leaks through perished seals or blocked drainage channels, leading to water ingress in the cabin and potential electrical damage.
