Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- CRDi clutch, DMF and EGR wearModerate
The diesel can cover high mileage, but city use and towing accelerate clutch, flywheel and EGR costs. Cheap ED diesels often hide a four-figure bill.
- Front spring and rear-bush wearModerate
Like the related Hyundai i30, the ED regularly needs front springs, top mounts and rear suspension bushes as the years add up.
