Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- 1.2 PureTech "Wet Belt" DegradationSerious
Later models with the 1.2 PureTech engine are subject to wet-belt degradation. Debris can block the oil pickup, leading to vacuum pump failure and a loss of braking assistance (Recall R/2020/331).
- 1.6 THP timing-chain stretch and carbon build-upSerious
The turbo petrol shares the usual Prince-engine faults: cold-start chain rattle, cam timing issues and carboned-up intake valves that can make a tidy C4 expensive very quickly.
- EGS / ETG gearbox hesitation and clutch wearModerate
The automated manual gearbox is slow by design, but excessive jerking, slipping or failure to select gears usually means actuator or clutch trouble rather than just old-school calibration.
