Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- N63 V8 Engine FailuresSerious
The early 4.4L twin-turbo V8 in xDrive50i models suffers from severe thermal fatigue in the hot-V. Hardened valve stem seals cause extreme oil consumption, timing chains stretch, and piezo fuel injectors leak raw fuel.
- Rear Air SuspensionSerious
The self-levelling rear air suspension rubber bellows crack along their lower flex fold. The air compressor runs constantly to compensate for the pressure drop until it burns out.
- Active Steering/Dynamic Drive LeaksSerious
The high-pressure hydraulic steel pipes supplying the Dynamic Drive active anti-roll bars and active steering rack corrode heavily behind the front right wheel arch in salted UK winters, causing severe CHF fluid leaks.
