Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- EGR Cooler LeakSerious
Many F10 diesels sit squarely in the UK EGR recall years. Leaking coolant mixed with soot can create a fire risk and should never be waved away as a minor seep.
- Air Suspension Failure (Touring)Serious
Rear air bags crack with age, then the compressor overworks and burns out. It is common enough to be a routine Touring inspection item.
- Drivetrain VibrationModerate
Worn engine mounts, propshaft flex discs, and differential bushes can create a shudder under load that feels worse on heavy UK-spec diesel cars.
