Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Module FailureSerious
The gear train inside the EPB actuator strips, leaving the brake stuck on, screaming, or refusing to operate - a very common E70 ownership issue.
- Rear Air Suspension FailureSerious
Air bags crack with age and the compressor burns out trying to keep the rear of the car level. On UK cars it is almost a routine inspection item.
- Panoramic Sunroof FailureModerate
The large glass roof can jam, break guides, or block drains, leading to wet headlinings and electrical trouble in the rear of the car.
