Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2022 model year cars.
- Rear Motor Cable Corrosion ("Cablegate")Serious
On AWD hybrid models, the high-voltage cable connector to the rear motor is prone to severe corrosion from road salt and moisture. If it fails, the car may lose AWD capability and display a hybrid system fault.
- Power Tailgate Strut or Spindle FailureModerate
The motorised tailgate can become slow, jerky, or fail to latch properly as the powered struts and spindle mechanisms wear with age.
- Front Lower Arm Bush WearModerate
The RX is heavy, and its front lower-arm bushes can soften or tear, leading to vague steering, inner tyre wear, and a dull thump over poor surfaces.
