Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- OM651 Diesel Chain Tensioner Oil LeakModerate
The timing chain tensioner gasket can leak oil. If left unaddressed, the loss of tensioner pressure can cause timing chain rattle and eventual stretch.
- NOx sensor and AdBlue system faultsModerate
Common on OM651 and OM654 diesels. Water ingress or soot can kill the sensors. Often requires replacing both upstream and downstream sensors simultaneously.
- Airmatic air suspension leaksSerious
Cars equipped with Airmatic can develop leaking air springs or a failing compressor, causing the car to sag overnight. Ignoring it burns out the compressor, pushing bills toward £2,000+.
