Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2002 model year cars.
- Coil Pack and HT Lead MisfireModerate
Later small-capacity Zetec-SE petrols commonly develop misfires from tired coil packs, leads or plugs, especially after damp weather or deferred servicing.
- Front Wishbone Bush and Drop Link WearModerate
By now most Mk5s have been through multiple sets of front suspension parts, and worn bushes or links make the steering feel loose and noisy.
