Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2005 model year cars.
- Rear arch, sill and brake-pipe corrosionSerious
LC shells generally resist rust a little better than the X3, but UK cars still corrode around the rear arches, sills, jacking points and exposed brake-pipe runs. Once advisories stack up, the car can quickly become uneconomical to repair.
- Crank sensor and ignition misfire faultsModerate
LC petrol Accents commonly suffer crankshaft-position-sensor, coil-pack or HT-lead faults, causing hard starting, intermittent stalling and a lumpy idle rather than catastrophic engine failure.
- Rear wheel bearing and beam-bush wearModerate
Higher-mileage LC cars often develop rear wheel-bearing rumble and sloppy beam bushes, which makes the car feel loose and can produce tyre wear or MOT play advisories.
