Spark and Matiz models often have suspension wear (bushes and drop links) and budget interior build quality.
Orlando and Captiva automatic gearboxes (6-speed) can be prone to failure if fluid changes are neglected.
The Volt is a complex range-extender; check for specialist service history and coolant level sensor issues.
