The most common problems on the Cpi SUV are shock absorber has inadequate damping effect. (10 recorded failures), brake disc(s) excessively worn (6), and drive chain worn to excess (5). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection.
