- ✓Pay close attention to the 7-speed DCT gearbox; it should shift smoothly. Any hesitation or "clunking" could indicate a failing sensor or actuator.
- ✓Check the ride quality; models on larger 19-inch wheels can be quite harsh on UK roads.
- ✓Verify the history of the 2.1L diesel (2.2d); it requires specific oil and timely maintenance to avoid timing chain issues.
