Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- "Death Wobble"Serious
A violent vibration of the steering wheel and front wheels, usually triggered by a bump at speed.
- 4WD Vacuum Hub FailureModerate
The front hubs engage via vacuum; a small leak in a rubber hose will prevent 4WD from working.
- Floor Pan and Sill CorrosionSerious
The floor pans and boot floor are notorious for rotting from the inside out. Foam filler in the sills traps moisture, accelerating corrosion in these critical structural areas.
