Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 1998 model year cars.
- Rear arch and sill corrosionSerious
Late Mk1 shells rust around the rear arches, sills and floor seams. Structural corrosion is the main reason these cars fail MOTs or become uneconomic to save.
- Ignition and idle-control faultsModerate
Coils, leads, idle valves and sensors can leave the little petrol engines idling badly or cutting out, though the fixes are usually straightforward if caught early.
