Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2021 model year cars.
- 1.0 VTi clutch wear and slipModerate
Stop-start urban driving and repeated hill starts cause premature wear to the friction plate on the 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine. A high bite point develops, followed by slipping under load in third or fourth gear and burning smells when executing parking manoeuvres.
- Front suspension drop link and lower arm bush wearModerate
Potholed UK urban roads degrade the rubber ball joints on the anti-roll bar drop links and the front lower wishbone bushes. Play develops quickly, causing loud clonking noises over speed cushions and rough tarmac, accompanied by loose steering response and uneven tyre wear.
