Petrol 58% pass first time (all 2004 cars: 57%) Stands out: drive shaft (cv) joints 2.7×, chassis rust or damage 3.4×, anti-roll bar link bushes 4.6× 4,342 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 55% pass first time (all 2004 cars: 57%) Stands out: chassis rust or damage 4.6×, drive shaft (cv) joints 2.6×, anti-roll bar bushes and joints 4.8× 1,608 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
