Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2003 model year cars.
- Door Lock Module FailureModerate
Like other Golf Mk4-platform cars, lock modules fail and confuse the alarm, interior lights and central locking.
- Water Ingress Through Door Membranes and ScuttleModerate
Water gets past the inner door seals or blocked scuttle area and soaks the carpet underlay.
- Front Suspension and Rear Beam Bush WearModerate
Age and UK roads wear front bushes, drop links and rear beam bushes, dulling the normally solid way an Octavia drives.
