Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- Haldex AWD Pump FailureModerate
Neglected fluid leads to pump failure, leaving the car FWD only.
- Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) WearSerious
The 2.0 TDCi high torque accelerates DMF spring fatigue and clutch disc wear. A rattling or knocking on cold start that disappears once warmed is the classic sign. Stalling the engine can shear the DMF springs and damage the starter ring gear.
- DPF Clogging and Regeneration FailureModerate
The diesel particulate filter clogs on cars used primarily for short urban journeys. The fuel vaporiser can itself fail, and the differential pressure sensor is a common secondary failure point. Without regeneration, the DPF will eventually clog completely.
