Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2008 model year cars.
- Rear Subframe Structural RustSerious
While the Mk4 has better rust protection than the Mk3, the rear subframe and its mounting points remain highly susceptible to structural rot in the UK.
- Fuel Filler Pipe CorrosionModerate
The metal pipe from the filler cap to the tank is prone to rusting through, allowing dirt and water into the fuel system.
- Super Select 4WD Vacuum or Solenoid FaultModerate
Vacuum leaks, tired solenoids or seized actuators can stop the four-wheel-drive system engaging or disengaging properly, often with a flashing dash light.
