Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2010 model year cars.
- Excessive Oil Consumption (EA888 Gen 2)Serious
Early EA888 2.0 TFSI engines (2008-2012) can consume oil heavily because of piston-ring wear. A proper fix requires updated pistons and connecting rods (Stage 2 fix).
- Timing Chain Tensioner FailureSerious
Early petrol cars can suffer timing-chain tensioner failure, often announced by cold-start rattle before the chain slips and causes major engine damage.
- Multitronic CVT FailureSerious
Front-wheel-drive automatic cars use the Multitronic CVT, which can judder, flare, or lose drive if fluid changes were skipped or the gearbox ECU starts to fail.
