Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- 1.4 Turbo (B14XFT/B14NET) LSPI / Piston DamageSerious
Low Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) risk on the 1.4 Turbo engines can cause catastrophic piston or ring-land damage. It is critical that the specific Dexos 1 Gen 2 oil formulation is used to prevent this.
- Clutch Pedal StickingModerate
The clutch pedal can stick to the floor or become slow to return due to failing hydraulic cylinders.
- 1.6 CDTi Timing Chain Rattle ("Whisper Diesel")Serious
The 1.6 CDTi engine is known for a severe timing chain rattle. The chain is located at the back of the engine (gearbox side), making replacement extremely expensive due to high labor (12-15 hours). A faulty tensioner causes a dry-start rattle that leads to chain stretch.
