Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2002 model year cars.
- 1.8 K-series Head Gasket FailureSerious
The 1.8 petrol is notorious for overheating and head-gasket failure.
- Viscous Coupling Unit (VCU) FailureSerious
The viscous fluid inside the VCU thickens with age, causing it to seize or fail. This can silently destroy the IRD and rear differential. Many owners simply remove the propshaft and run FWD only.
- Three Amigos (ABS/ESP/HDC Warning Lights)Moderate
The ABS, traction control, and Hill Descent Control warning lights illuminate together, often due to worn ABS sensors or more expensive 4WD system faults.
