Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- Haldex AWD Pump FailureModerate
Neglected fluid leads to loss of rear drive.
- Panoramic Roof Water IngressModerate
The panoramic sunroof seals and drain tubes are a well-known weak point. Blocked or perished drains allow water to soak into the headlining, drip onto the dashboard, and potentially damage interior electronics.
- DPF Clogging (2.0 TDI)Moderate
The 2.0 TDI diesel particulate filter clogs if the car is used predominantly for short urban trips. Regeneration cycles fail to complete, leading to limp mode, high fuel consumption and eventually a blocked DPF requiring professional cleaning or replacement.
