Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2015 model year cars.
- Door Strut FailureModerate
The lightweight carbon-fibre and aluminium dihedral butterfly doors rely on high-pressure gas damper struts hidden within the front wings. Over time, gas pressure escapes, causing the doors to drop unexpectedly or feel excessively heavy to lift.
- REx Fuel Pressure SensorModerate
The petrol fuel tank is pressurized and sealed to prevent petrol vapour emissions during pure EV driving. The electronic fuel tank pressure relief sensor or tank vent solenoid valve can fail, causing the iDrive system to lock the fuel filler flap closed.
- Steering Rack KnockModerate
The lightweight electromechanical steering rack mounted to the front carbon-aluminium subframe develops internal clearance play between the steering rack bar and thrust piece, producing hollow metallic knocking over minor road imperfections.
