Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- 2.0 EcoBlue Wet Belt DegradationSerious
The timing belt runs in oil and is extremely sensitive to skipped services and incorrect oil, eventually clogging the pickup and destroying the engine.
- AdBlue and NOx Sensor FaultsModerate
Euro 6 after-treatment faults are common on short-run or neglected vans, ranging from NOx sensors to AdBlue heaters and dosing problems.
- Driver Door Lock and Central Locking DamageModerate
Break-in attempts often destroy the outer lock and handle carrier, and cheap repairs can leave recurring central-locking or water-ingress problems.
