Problems:

Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function properly, and leaks can lead to reduced braking efficiency or complete brake failure.
Brake pad wear
Over time, brake pads wear down and may need to be replaced to maintain effective braking performance.
Brake caliper issues
Calipers can seize or malfunction, leading to uneven braking or reduced braking power.
Abs warning light
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) may develop faults, triggering the ABS warning light on the dashboard.
Air in brake lines
Air can enter the hydraulic brake lines, causing a spongy brake pedal and reduced braking effectiveness.
Brake rotor wear
Brake rotors can become warped or excessively worn, leading to vibration or reduced braking performance.
Engine misfires
The MG5+MH1 engine may experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Timing chain problems
The MG5+MH1 engine might have issues with the timing chain, which can lead to poor engine performance or engine failure.
Oil leaks
The engine may develop oil leaks from gaskets or seals, leading to decreased engine lubrication and potential damage.
Overheating
