The 1.2 TCe petrol (H5F) introduced with the 2012 facelift can consume excessive amounts of oil, which can lead to timing chain failure or total engine collapse if not monitored.
- EDC gearbox hesitation and shudderModerate
The dual-clutch EDC automatic can be jerky at low speeds or hesitate when pulling away, particularly if the clutch packs are worn or the software is outdated.
- Electronic parking-brake faultsModerate
The EPB module or rear caliper motors can fail, leaving the handbrake stuck on or generating warnings that become MOT concerns.
