Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- DPF and EGR FoulingModerate
Urban stop-start use and long idling clog the DPF and EGR system, leading to repeat limp-mode faults and expensive cleaning or replacement.
- Dual-Mass Flywheel and Clutch WearSerious
Repeated heavy launches and towing can wear out the clutch and DMF, causing rattles, slip and expensive gearbox-out repairs.
- Early 2.0 EcoBlue Wet Belt DegradationSerious
Late pre-facelift Euro 6 vans introduced the oil-bath timing belt; missed servicing or the wrong oil can make the belt shed material and starve the engine of oil pressure.
