Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2010 model year cars.
- EGR, DPF and injector issues on 1.6 CRDiModerate
The diesel engine can cover serious mileage, but older cars used mainly for short trips develop EGR, DPF and injector issues that easily outweigh the value of a cheap example.
- Front spring, top-mount and bush wearModerate
Broken spring ends, tired top mounts and worn lower-arm bushes are common on UK cars and explain a lot of FD clonks or vague tracking.
