Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2008 model year cars.
- Air Suspension FailureSerious
The air suspension struts can leak over time, causing the car to sag and putting extra strain on the compressor.
- Control Arm Bushing WearModerate
The LS is a heavy car, and its front control arm bushings are a known weak point, leading to vague steering and clunking noises.
- Brake Actuator FailureSerious
Similar to the GS and RX of this era, the LS 460 and 600h can suffer from brake actuator failure.
