Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2005 model year cars.
- AW55 automatic gearbox flare and valve-body wearSerious
Five-speed automatics can flare between gears, thump into drive or slip once warm if fluid changes have been ignored.
- PCV system blockage and oil leaksModerate
Five-cylinder petrol engines build crankcase pressure when the breather system blocks, pushing oil out of seals and making the engine smoky or sweaty.
- DIM cluster failureModerate
The driver information module can lose gauges, warning messages or backlighting, making the S60 feel more broken than it really is.
