Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2004 model year cars.
- Front suspension coil spring fractureSerious
High salt corrosion and speed cushions on UK roads cause the front coil springs to fracture prematurely near the lower cup seat. In severe cases, the broken spring coil uncoils and punctures the front tyre, prompting DVSA safety recall R/2005/033 to fit protective catch plates.
- SensoDrive automated transmission actuator and software failureSerious
The optional SensoDrive automated manual transmission relies on electric actuators for clutch engagement and gear selection. Software glitches, wiring loom degradation and worn actuator motors lead to jerky gear shifting, failure to select reverse, or complete transmission lockout with a flashing snowflake symbol on the dashboard.
- 1.4 TU3 petrol cylinder head gasket oil leakageModerate
The 1.4-litre TU-series 8-valve petrol engine suffers from external oil weeping from the front-left corner of the cylinder head gasket (above the alternator). Over time, coolant and oil passages can cross-contaminate, causing overheating and mayonnaise-like emulsification under the oil filler cap.
