Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- Transfer Box / PTU FailureSerious
The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) can fail or leak, leading to expensive driveline repairs.
- Ingenium Timing Chain Wear (The "Slap")Serious
The 2.0 diesel engine suffers from timing chain stretch, often known as "timing chain slap". This is accelerated by oil dilution reaching the 6-7% threshold, which degrades lubrication.
- Door Lock Actuator FailuresModerate
The door lock actuators fail intermittently, causing doors to unlock spontaneously or refuse to lock. A common and annoying electrical fault.
