Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2005 model year cars.
- Rear Strut Tower, Sill and Arch CorrosionSerious
Mk2 shells can rot badly around the rear strut tops, sills and rear arches, sometimes hiding serious structural decay behind trim and underseal.
- Radiator End Tank CrackingModerate
Ageing factory radiators can split around the plastic end tanks, causing coolant loss that is easy to miss until the car gets hot in traffic.
- Wheel Bearing WearModerate
Rear wheel bearings in particular can get noisy as the cars age, bringing a droning noise that is often mistaken for tyre roar.
