Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- DPF, EGR and boost-hose issues on CRDi diesels(Moderate)
Short-trip use and neglected servicing lead to blocked DPFs, sticky EGR valves and split boost hoses, causing limp mode and recurring warning lights.
- AWD coupling and rear differential wear(Moderate)
On four-wheel-drive models, neglected tyres or missed fluid changes can strain the coupling and rear diff, producing whine, vibration or judder on tight turns.
