Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2002 model year cars.
- GM 5-Speed Automatic Gearbox FailureSerious
The 5-speed GM automatic used in early 3.0d models is notoriously weak and often fails under the weight and torque of the X5.
- Door Handle Carrier SnappingModerate
The cast-zinc internal carrier for the exterior door handles is brittle and snaps, making it impossible to open the door from the outside.
- Rear Air Suspension LeaksSerious
The rear air bags perish and develop leaks. If left, the compressor will overwork and fail, leading to a much larger bill.
