Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- N47 Timing Chain FailureSerious
The rear-mounted timing chain can stretch or jump if wear is ignored. On early units, the crankshaft sprocket teeth were too sharp, accelerating wear (Recall 14V054). On UK cars this is the headline risk on 118d, 120d, and 123d models.
- Differential Bearing FailureSerious
Rear differential bearings can wear and start whining, especially on cars that have run mismatched rear tyres or skipped fluid changes.
- Electric Steering Lock (ELV) FaultModerate
The steering lock module can log faults and eventually refuse to release, leaving the car stuck or intermittently failing to start.
