Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2004 model year cars.
- Jaeger Instrument Cluster (Dashpod) Stepper Motor & Processor FailureModerate
The Magneti Marelli / Jaeger instrument cluster suffers from microprocessor breakdown and failing stepper motors, causing the fuel and coolant temperature needles to read wildly inaccurately or display total blackout.
- Gen 1 Haldex AWD Differential Oil & Filter Service NeglectSerious
The electronically controlled hydraulic Haldex coupling requires fresh Haldex high-pressure oil every 20,000 miles and a filter replacement every 40,000 miles. Neglect leads to pre-charge pump failure and converts the car into permanent front-wheel-drive.
- 1.8T Sump Strainer Gauze Sludge & Turbocharger Oil StarvationSerious
Long-life servicing on 180bhp and 225bhp (BAM/APX) turbocharged engines turns engine oil into baked carbon granules that clog the fine wire mesh pickup tube in the sump, triggering catastrophic oil starvation.
