Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2014 model year cars.
- Timing Chain Tensioner / StretchSerious
The N18 engine is better than the earlier N14, but the timing chain can still stretch or the tensioner fail, especially if oil changes were neglected.
- Automatic Gearbox "Shunting"Moderate
The 6-speed automatic can develop jerky shifts or a "shunt" when pulling away, often needing a valve body or solenoid repair.
- Window Regulator FailureModerate
The large frameless windows put stress on the regulators, leading to slow operation or complete failure to drop/rise.
