Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- N47/N57 Timing Chain StretchSerious
The 520d N47 is the major offender, but neglected N57 six-cylinder diesels can also stretch chains. Repair costs climb fast because access is poor.
- EGR Cooler LeakSerious
Many F10 diesels sit squarely in the UK EGR recall years. Leaking coolant mixed with soot can create a fire risk and should never be waved away as a minor seep.
- Air Suspension Failure (Touring)Serious
Rear air bags crack with age, then the compressor overworks and burns out. It is common enough to be a routine Touring inspection item.
