- ✓1.6 CDTi cars need a true cold-start listen because chain rattle is the expensive facelift-era diesel problem
- ✓Test IntelliLink, nav and parking-camera functions properly because software resets can hide weak head units
- ✓Cycle the electronic handbrake and, on 4x4 cars, ask for Haldex servicing rather than assuming it was done
- ✓A fully warm road test matters on facelift diesels because NOx, AdBlue and DPF faults can be absent when stone cold
