Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- Clogged Hybrid Battery Cooling FilterModerate
Dust, pet hair and road grime accumulate on the hybrid battery intake filter behind the rear seats on GS 300h and GS 450h models. A blocked filter reduces airflow to the nickel-metal hydride pack, triggering a Hybrid System Fault warning and, if ignored, causing the battery to overheat and degrade prematurely. Regular filter cleaning is the standard preventive fix, while a failed battery replacement is expensive.
- Seizing Rear Brake CalipersModerate
The rear brake caliper slider pins on the GS Mk4 can seize due to road salt and moisture ingress, particularly on cars used for short urban trips where the brakes do not reach self-cleaning temperatures. This causes uneven pad wear, a dragging brake, reduced fuel economy and MOT failure. Sticky rear calipers are a common age-related annoyance on executive saloons kept in damp UK conditions.
- Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) Damper Oil LeakageModerate
Higher-spec GS Mk4 models fitted with Adaptive Variable Suspension can develop leaking dampers as the seals perish with age. Oil mist on the shock absorber body, a bouncy ride and uneven ride height are typical signs. OEM AVS dampers are expensive to replace, making this a costly repair on high-mileage executive saloons.
