At a glance
- Years: built from 2015. The facelift came in 2019. Sources give the end of production as 2021 or 2022.
- Most common: a stretched timing chain on the 1.4 Turbo, coolant loss, and oil use.
- Gearbox: the Easytronic automated gearbox gets the most complaints. Sources say avoid it.
- Reliability: 2/5, because the chain, coolant and gearbox faults can each cost hundreds to thousands of euros.
- DIY: 2/5, because the timing chain job needs special tools and many hours of labour.
- Prefer: a car with a chain or coolant repair record and a clear oil history. Avoid: an Easytronic car with jerky shifts, and a car that loses coolant with no service proof.
Engines and gearboxes
- 1.0 Turbo (LE1, 3 cylinders, 77 kW / 105 PS): no common engine fault confirmed.
- 1.4 Turbo (LE2, B14XFT, 125 or 150 PS): the chain can stretch and coolant can leak. Check the chain record first.
- 1.4 petrol without turbo (74 kW): no faults named in the sources.
- 1.6 Turbo (147 kW / 200 PS): no faults named in the sources.
- 1.6 CDTI diesel (95 to 160 PS): timing chain rattle, DPF blocking on short trips, and injector faults.
- Facelift 1.2 Turbo (110 to 145 PS), 1.4 Turbo with CVT (145 PS) and 1.5 diesel (105 to 122 PS): the sources give power figures only. No fault data was found.
- Manual gearbox, 1.0 and 1.4 Turbo: clutch wear can come early. A clutch replacement costs 680.75 GBP on average (UK, year not stated).
- Easytronic automated gearbox: jerky, unreliable and expensive to repair. Avoid.
- 6-speed automatic: stiff or jerky shifts are reported.

Before you buy
- Timing chain (1.4 Turbo). Listen for a rattle on a cold start. Bad result: a rattle, or fault codes P0016 or P0017 on a scanner. Needs a scanner.
- Easytronic gearbox. Test drive with pull-away and gear changes. Bad result: jerky or harsh shifts. A repair costs 1,000 to 3,000 EUR (year not stated).
- Coolant (1.4 Turbo). Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. Look for damp spots in the engine bay and for white exhaust smoke. Bad result: a low level, damp spots, or a temperature rise above 90 C. A water pump costs 250 to 1,000 EUR (Germany, year not stated).
- Timing chain (1.6 CDTI). Listen to a cold start and to idle. Bad result: a rattle. Ask for a chain check at about 150,000 km. A check after unexplained noise costs 100 to 280 EUR (Germany, year not stated).
- Injectors (1.6 CDTI). Check for rough idle and smoke. Bad result: a fault on a scanner or rough running. Each injector costs 200 to 600 GBP (UK, year not stated). Needs a scanner.
- DPF (1.6 CDTI). Ask how the car was driven. Bad result: a DPF warning light or lost power. Short trips only are a warning sign. A DPF repair costs 100 to 400 GBP (UK, year not stated).
- Oil use. Check the oil level and look for oil on the ground under the car. Bad result: oil low between services, or blue exhaust smoke. Above 300 ml per 1,000 km needs a workshop check. Cost not given.
- Brakes and lights. Brake discs wear faster than average, and inspectors often flag the front lamps. Bad result: worn discs or misaimed lamps. Fix these before the next inspection.
- Infotainment, camera and doors. Test the infotainment screen and the windscreen camera. On a Sports Tourer, check for water in the doors. Bad result: a failed screen, a misted camera, or damp in the door.
