Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2010 model year cars.
- Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Module FailureSerious
The gear train inside the EPB actuator strips, leaving the brake stuck on, screaming, or refusing to operate - a very common E70 ownership issue.
- Rear Air Suspension FailureSerious
Air bags crack with age and the compressor burns out trying to keep the rear of the car level. On UK cars it is almost a routine inspection item.
- Valve Stem Seal Leak (V8 N62 Engine)Serious
The N62 V8 hardens its valve stem seals, creating clouds of blue smoke and serious oil consumption that are expensive to put right.
