Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2010 model year cars.
- Electronic Parking Brake Motor FailureSerious
The EPB motors on the rear calipers can seize or fail, preventing the handbrake from releasing or engaging. This can leave the car stranded or cause the brake warning light to illuminate.
- AC Compressor FailureModerate
The air conditioning compressor can seize or leak refrigerant, causing the AC to blow warm air. A seized compressor can also send debris through the system, contaminating the evaporator and condenser.
- Ignition Coil Pack FailureModerate
Coil packs can fail on petrol models, causing misfires, rough running and the engine management light. The 1.6 and 2.0 FSI engines are particularly prone.
