Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2006 model year cars.
- Clutch cable and clutch wearModerate
Frequent town use and learner abuse wear the clutch quickly, and stretched clutch cables can make gear selection or bite point feel inconsistent.
- Front spring and top-mount failuresModerate
Corrosion and potholes crack front springs and wear top mounts, a common MOT issue on older UK Picantos that can leave the front end noisy and unsettled.
