Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 1999 model year cars.
- Oil Sludge (B205/B235)Serious
Identical issue to the 9-3 OG; the 9-5 is actually more prone to this due to higher engine bay temperatures.
- Rear Trailing Arm BushesModerate
Worn rear bushes lead to poor tracking and high tyre wear.
- Turbocharger FailureSerious
All 9-5 engines use a turbocharger, and lack of maintenance or oil sludge can cause premature turbo bearing failure. A blown turbo can send oil into the intake or exhaust, causing smoke and potential engine damage.
