Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2002 model year cars.
- Door Lock Microswitch Internal Solder Joint FractureModerate
The microswitch inside the integrated door latch mechanism suffers from cracked solder joints and worn plastic cams, preventing the car from registering whether the door is open or closed.
- Electric Window Regulator Plastic Runner Clip ShearingModerate
Factory window regulator clips were molded from fragile plastic that cracks over time, causing the window glass to drop suddenly into the door cavity and jam.
- 1.8T Oil Pickup Pipe Sludge & Turbocharger StarvationSerious
On 1.8 20v Turbo GTI and 150/180bhp models, extended service intervals bake oil into carbon sludge, which clogs the narrow mesh gauze of the oil pickup strainer in the sump, starving the top end and turbocharger of oil.
