Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2002 model year cars.
- TD5 Head Gasket FailureSerious
Early TD5 engines used plastic dowels to locate the cylinder head, which can break and allow the head to shift, causing gasket failure. Metal dowels are the fix.
- TD5 Injector Harness Oil MigrationSerious
Oil seeps along the injector wiring harness into the ECU red plug connector, causing rough running, misfires and potential ECU damage.
- Air Suspension and ACE System FailuresSerious
Self-levelling suspension (SLS) air bags perish and compressors fail. The ACE system leaks from corroded pipes, causing handling issues and expensive repairs.
