Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- Front Radiator & Condenser CorrosionModerate
Being mounted low and exposed, the cooling pack corrodes over time, especially on cars driven in winter.
- Gearbox Synchro Wear (2nd & 3rd)Moderate
The supercharged 1.8 S3 models are particularly prone to synchro wear on 2nd and 3rd gears, often flagged by crunching on the 2-3 change. Cars used on track are most at risk.
- Immobiliser & Central Locking FailureModerate
The immobiliser and central locking system can fail after prolonged shutdowns or when battery voltage is low. Moisture ingress into wiring under the dashboard accelerates connector corrosion.
