12V Battery Degradation and Failure
Minor2012-201530,000–150,000 miles£80–£250
Lead-acid and AGM batteries have a finite lifespan. Modern cars are highly sensitive to voltage drops, causing bizarre electrical faults before the battery completely dies.
Suspension Coil Spring Snapping
Severe2012-201560,000–120,000 miles£150–£300
A very common MOT failure in the UK. Suspension coil springs corrode and snap, usually near the bottom pigtail.
Shock Absorber Oil Leak and Failure
Moderate2012-201570,000–120,000 miles£200–£400
Shock absorbers lose their damping efficiency over time, and eventually blow their seals, leaking hydraulic fluid.
