Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- 1.4 MultiAir Actuator FailureSerious
The "MultiAir" brick can fail if oil changes are missed or the wrong viscosity is used. This is a common and expensive failure.
- Parts availability and escalating costsModerate
With production ceased and the Mazda-Fiat partnership ended, 124 Spider-specific parts are becoming scarce and expensive. Body panels (especially aluminium items), windscreens, key fobs and even the bonnet pedestrian-safety actuators can be on backorder for months. Some cars have been written off due to parts being unavailable for minor accident repairs.
- MultiAir oil drain-back when sitting unusedModerate
If the 1.4 MultiAir engine sits unused for several months, oil can drain from the hydraulic MultiAir unit ("the brick"), affecting the valve train and preventing the engine from starting due to lack of compression. The fix is usually to crank it until the unit re-primes, but repeated occurrences can damage the unit.
