Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- 3.0 TDI Timing Chain RattleSerious
The V6 TDI timing chains sit at the rear of the engine and the hydraulic tensioners can weaken, causing cold-start rattle and potential chain jump if ignored.
- DPF Clogging and Regeneration IssuesModerate
Town-driven 3.0 TDI models block their DPFs, causing warning lights, limp mode and expensive DPF cleaning or replacement.
- Adaptive Air Suspension LeakSerious
Cars with optional adaptive air suspension develop leaks in the air struts, causing the car to sag and the compressor to overwork and fail.
