Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- ABS Pump (Teves MK60 G201) Internal Pressure Sensor FailureSerious
The internal hydraulic brake pressure sensor (G201) inside the Teves MK60 ABS/ESP control block fails internally, triggering ABS/ESP warning lights and generating an instant MOT test failure.
- Front Wing Arch Sound-Deadening Foam Sponge CorrosionModerate
Volkswagen installed dense acoustic foam blocks at the top apex of the front wing arches. These retain moisture, road salt, and mud against the bare inner metal, rotting the front wings and sills from the inside out.
- 1.4 TSI Twincharged (EA111) Timing Chain Stretch & Piston Ringland FailureSerious
The complex 1.4 TSI 140/170bhp Twincharged engine (supercharged + turbocharged) suffers from hydraulic timing chain tensioner slack causing timing jump, alongside cracked piston ringlands from thermal stress.
