Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- NOx Sensor / AdBlue System FaultsModerate
Diesel SCR faults are the most common high-value annoyance on the 4M, often causing AdBlue warnings and eventual no-start countdowns even when the tank has been topped up.
- Air Suspension Strut / Compressor FailureSerious
The 4M rides beautifully on air, but leaking struts or tired compressors can leave the car sagging and trigger costly chassis warnings.
- MMI / Electrical Module GlitchesModerate
Owners commonly report frozen MMI screens, camera faults, battery drain, and keyless-entry glitches - usually software or module related, but expensive if neglected outside warranty.
