Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2008 model year cars.
- Timing Cover Oil LeaksModerate
The front timing cover can start weeping oil as sealant ages. While the parts are cheap, access is extremely difficult, often requiring 20+ hours of labor.
- Single-Plate Clutch Wear (SportShift & Manual)Serious
The original clutch is a consumable, especially on SportShift I cars. Reversing up hills or creeping in traffic is particularly damaging.
