Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- Steering Rack RattleModerate
The electronic steering rack can develop play in the thrust piece, creating a clonk or rattle over broken UK roads. Some cars only need the repair kit; others need a full rack.
- EGR Valve & Cooler RecallsSerious
Diesel 116d, 118d, 120d, and 125d models fall into BMW diesel EGR recall years (Recall 18V755) where leaking coolant mixed with soot can create a fire risk.
- Coolant Loss (B48/B58 Engines)Moderate
Later petrol cars are better than the N13/N20 era, but expansion tanks, vent hoses, and small coolant fittings can still seep and trigger low-level warnings.
