Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- 1.6 THP timing-chain stretchSerious
Prince engine chain and carbon issues.
- DPF Clogging on HDi DieselsModerate
The 1.6 HDi and 2.0 HDi diesels are prone to diesel particulate filter clogging, especially on short urban trips. A blocked DPF triggers limp mode, excessive fuel consumption and can eventually damage the turbo.
- Flywheel (DMF) Vibration and WearModerate
The dual-mass flywheel on diesel models can develop excessive play, causing vibration at idle, judder during take-off and a rattling noise. Replacement is expensive as the clutch must come off at the same time.
