Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- Powered tailgate strut or motor failureModerate
The electric tailgate mechanism often weakens or stops working, leaving the boot reluctant to open fully or stay up.
- D5 cam cover and breather oil leaksModerate
The older D5 engine can leak oil from the cam cover and PCV-related areas, and oil contamination near the auxiliary belt should not be ignored.
- Haldex pump failureModerate
AWD cars can lose rear-drive assistance when the Haldex pump or its filter clogs through missed servicing.
