The 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine can develop timing chain rattle, particularly on cold starts, if oil changes have been missed or low-grade oil used.
- Clutch Wear and Heavy Pedal Feel(Moderate)
Town-driven Vivas often suffer premature clutch wear due to constant stop-start use. A heavy or high-biting clutch is a sign it has been ridden hard.
- Front Wheel Bearing Noise(Moderate)
The front wheel bearings can develop a growling or humming noise at speed, which gets louder when cornering. A common wear item on lightweight city cars.
