Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- Radiator End-Tank FailureModerate
The original plastic-ended radiators leak at the seams. Replacement requires "clam-off" labor.
- Rear Toe Link Wear/FailureSerious
The standard toe links can fail under high stress, leading to a sudden loss of control.
- 2ZZ-GE Oil Starvation on TrackSerious
The 2ZZ-GE engine is prone to oil starvation during high lateral G cornering, which can wipe cam lobes and damage bearings. Sump baffles are essential for track use.
