Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2006 model year cars.
- Suspension Bush & Ball Joint WearModerate
The 300C is a very heavy car, and its suspension components (derived from the Mercedes W211) take a beating on UK roads. Ball joints and control arm bushes often last less than 40,000 miles.
- Swirl Motor Failure (3.0 CRD)Serious
Oil leaks from the turbocharger intake pipe can drip directly onto the swirl flap motor located in the "V" of the engine, causing it to short out and put the car into limp mode.
- Inlet Manifold Corrosion (2005–2007 Diesel)Serious
On early 300C diesels, the inlet manifold can corrode internally and suck plastic fragments into the engine, causing potentially catastrophic damage. Cars built between 2005 and 2007 are most affected.
