Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2021 model year cars.
- Low-speed DCT hesitation and clutch wearModerate
The hybrid system masks it at times, but the 6DCT can still feel jerky or hesitant when creeping, parking or pulling away uphill if the clutch or actuator calibration is off.
- Rear brake corrosion and bindingModerate
Because regenerative braking does much of the work, rear discs and calipers can corrode or stick badly on low-mileage cars, causing MOT advisories and expensive catch-up maintenance.
