Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- 2.2 CRDi DPF Clogging & Oil Dilution from Short JourneysModerate
When used predominantly for short urban school runs, the 2.2 CRDi diesel struggles to complete active DPF regenerations, leading to rising sump oil levels (fuel dilution) and DPF blockages.
- AWD Dynamax Coupling Spline Wear & Rear Diff BindingSerious
The Magna Dynamax electro-hydraulic 4WD coupling can suffer internal clutch pack wear or transfer case spline stripping if mismatched tyres are run across axles.
- Rear Suspension Bush & Self-Levelling Damper FailureModerate
Heavily loaded or towing vehicles suffer accelerated wear to rear trailing arm bushes and self-levelling rear shock absorbers, causing rear-end sagging and bouncing.
