At a glance
- Years: built from 2012. The facelift came in 2020.
- Most common: the Dualogic automated gearbox shifts slowly or judders. The 0.9 TwinAir petrol uses oil and has valve-unit faults. The 1.3 diesel wears its DPF, EGR and turbo.
- Reliability: 2/5, because the Dualogic gearbox and the TwinAir valve unit fail, and the clutch wears.
- DIY: 2/5, because clutch and gearbox work needs a workshop. A clutch job takes about a working day.
- Prefer: a manual car with a full service book. Avoid: a Dualogic car that shifts slowly or judders.

Before you buy
- Drive off from rest and make several up-shifts. Shifts should be quick and smooth. Slow, late or jerky shifts mean a failing Dualogic actuator (the unit that moves the gears).
- Test the clutch on a steep hill or under hard acceleration. If the revs rise and the car does not speed up, the clutch is slipping.
- Ask for the diesel service book. Missed services raise the risk of DPF, EGR and turbo faults.
- Let the engine idle and listen for rough running or power that comes and goes. These point to the TwinAir valve unit.
- Check the oil level with the dipstick and ask for oil change records. Low or old oil is a warning sign.
- Drive over bumps and turn the wheel on full lock. Knocks, rattles or play mean worn track rods or springs.
- Check the battery and ask how old it is. A flat battery is a common breakdown.
- Ask the dealer to check the VIN for open recalls, including the 2023 reverse switch check.
