Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- DPF and EGR clogging on 1.4 CRDiModerate
The diesel suits motorway use, but repeated short trips clog the EGR and DPF, leading to limp mode, poor economy and expensive catch-up work on cheap town cars.
- Front springs, bushes and drop links wearing outModerate
Age and rough UK roads catch the PB at the front axle. Broken spring ends, worn lower-arm bushes and noisy drop links are far more common than serious engine trouble.
