Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- Haldex AWD Pump FailureModerate
Neglected Haldex servicing can leave the quattro system inactive, so the car loses rear-wheel traction in slippery conditions.
- DSG S tronic Mechatronic FailureSerious
The DQ250/DQ500 6 or 7-speed S tronic gearbox can develop mechatronic unit faults or clutch pack wear, causing jerky shifts and gear loss.
- Water Pump and Thermostat Housing LeakModerate
The plastic water pump impeller and thermostat housing can crack from heat cycling, causing coolant loss and potential overheating.
