Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- Clutch and release-bearing wearModerate
Plenty of JB Rios lead a hard urban life and need clutch work earlier than expected, especially if they have been used as cheap learner or delivery cars.
- Front lower-arm bush and drop-link wearModerate
UK roads chew through lower-arm bushes and anti-roll-bar links, leaving the Rio with an obvious front-end knock and vague tracking well before anything major fails.
- Rear brake and brake-pipe corrosionModerate
Low-value JB cars are often run on a shoestring, so rear drums or calipers and the associated brake pipes can corrode badly enough to turn an MOT into a proper bill.
