Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2004 model year cars.
- Rear torsion beam axle trailing arm bearing failureSerious
The trailing arm needle roller bearings inside the rear torsion beam axle lack adequate weather sealing against UK road salt and water spray. Corrosion destroys the bearings, causing the rear wheels to tilt inwards at the top (negative camber) and rub against the inner wheel arch liners, eventually seizing the axle.
- 2.0 HDi in-tank fuel lift pump failureSerious
The low-pressure fuel lift pump situated inside the fuel tank on 2.0 HDi models is prone to internal electrical brush wear and motor seizure. The engine cuts out without warning while driving or fails to start, often preceded by a buzzing or whining noise from beneath the rear passenger seats.
