Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- DQ200 DSG Mechatronic FailureSerious
The 7-speed dry-clutch DQ200 gearbox can suffer mechatronic unit failure, causing erratic gear changes, loss of drive, or the gearbox entering limp mode. The accumulator piston and clutch actuator are common weak points.
- Rear Light Seal Water IngressModerate
Water leaks through perished foam gaskets behind the rear light clusters, running down into the spare wheel well and boot floor. Left unchecked, this causes mould, electrical gremlins, and rusted boot floor seams.
- Sill and Wheel Arch CorrosionModerate
Road debris and mud collect behind the plastic front wheel arch liners, trapping moisture against the front wing and sill. Over time, rust bubbles through the paintwork at the lower front wings and outer sills.
