Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2005 model year cars.
- Timing Chain StretchSerious
The 1.5 and 1.8 petrols can develop chain rattle and cam/crank correlation issues, especially if oil changes have been missed.
- Rear Floor and Arch CorrosionSerious
Budget use and neglected rustproofing mean rear arches and floor edges often become the real MOT threat on surviving cars.
- Crank and Cam Sensor FailureModerate
Faulty sensors cause intermittent cutting out or a non-start, and are common enough to be a stock fix on ageing Almeras.
