Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2000 model year cars.
- Fuel Tank LeakSerious
The pressed-steel saddle fuel tank develops rust along the crimped centre seam and around the upper breather pipes due to trapped road grime. Remedying requires dropping the exhaust, propshaft, and rear subframe.
- EDC Suspension LeaksSerious
The optional Electronic Damper Control (EDC) active shock absorbers leak hydraulic damping oil past internal shaft seals. Replacement OEM dampers cost upwards of £800 each, prompting many UK owners to fit standard Sachs dampers.
- Cooling System OverhaulSerious
Like the E39, the M52, M60, and M62 cooling systems suffer from brittle plastic radiator necks that snap under pressure, weeping water pump bearings, and cracked expansion tanks.
