Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- Front Suspension Wishbone Bush and Linkage WearModerate
Weighing over 1.7 tonnes unladen and frequently driven fully laden with passengers or luggage, the Mk1 Alhambra exerts tremendous stress on its front suspension geometry. The rubber voided bushes on the lower wishbones and the anti-roll bar drop links deteriorate rapidly on UK speed humps and potholed roads. This results in heavy knocking over road imperfections, wander under braking, and severe inside shoulder tyre wear, leading to consistent MOT advisories and failures.
- Rear Air Conditioning Refrigerant Line CorrosionModerate
Models equipped with rear passenger climate control feature aluminium refrigerant pipes routed along the underside of the vehicle floorpan. Exposed to road spray, salt, and winter grit on UK roads, these exposed pipes corrode and develop pinhole perforations, particularly around mounting brackets. This causes the air conditioning system to lose gas pressure completely, leaving the cabin blowers unable to cool the passenger compartment.
