Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- 1.2 TCe oil consumptionSerious
The 1.2 TCe petrol (H5F) introduced with the 2012 facelift can consume excessive amounts of oil, which can lead to timing chain failure or total engine collapse if not monitored.
- EDC gearbox hesitation and shudderModerate
The dual-clutch EDC automatic can be jerky at low speeds or hesitate when pulling away, particularly if the clutch packs are worn or the software is outdated.
- Electronic parking-brake faultsModerate
The EPB module or rear caliper motors can fail, leaving the handbrake stuck on or generating warnings that become MOT concerns.
