Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- 2.0 and 2.2 D-4D Diesel Cylinder Head Gasket FailureSerious
Early AD-series diesel engines (2.0 1AD-FTV and 2.2 2AD-FHV) fitted to 2009–2012 models suffer from cylinder head gasket failure. Unequal thermal expansion rates between the aluminium engine block and the cylinder head cause micro-fretting around the combustion fire rings. Combustion gases pressurise the coolant cooling circuit, forcing coolant out of the expansion bottle overflow and causing cabin heater air locks. Toyota UK offered goodwill engine replacements for up to 7 years or 111,000 miles.
- Manual 6-Speed Gearbox Input and Output Shaft Bearing WearSerious
The 6-speed manual gearbox fitted across 1.6 and 1.8 petrol as well as 2.0 diesel models is susceptible to premature bearing wear on the main input and output shafts. Sub-standard case-hardening on the steel bearing races causes surface pitting, which produces an audible whining noise that rises in pitch with vehicle speed in 5th and 6th gear. If ignored, the bearing collapses completely, puncturing the transmission casing and destroying gear gearsets.
- Electronic Parking Brake Actuator and Cable Mechanism JammingModerate
The electronic parking brake (EPB) mechanism utilizes motorized cable pullers mounted underneath the rear floor pan. Moisture, road dirt, and winter salt spray penetrate the actuator casing and Bowden cables, causing internal corrosion of the gears and microswitches. This leaves the rear brakes locked on or triggers an instrument warning chime with a disabled parking brake, causing an MOT failure.
