Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2008 model year cars.
- Suspension Bush & Ball Joint WearModerate
The 300C is a very heavy car, and its suspension components (derived from the Mercedes W211) take a beating on UK roads. Ball joints and control arm bushes often last less than 40,000 miles.
- Swirl Motor Failure (3.0 CRD)Serious
Oil leaks from the turbocharger intake pipe can drip directly onto the swirl flap motor located in the "V" of the engine, causing it to short out and put the car into limp mode.
- Alternator FailureModerate
The alternator is prone to premature failure, often caused by diesel fuel dripping onto it from cracking rubber fuel hoses. The earth cable can also corrode, leaving the car unable to start.
