Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2020 model year cars.
- 1.0 T-GDI Timing Chain StretchSerious
The timing chain on the 3-cylinder turbo engine can stretch over time, often due to extended oil change intervals or low oil levels.
- 7-Speed DCT Clutch JudderModerate
The dry-clutch DCT can suffer from judder in stop-start traffic, similar to the Ceed and Sportage. This is often caused by the clutches overheating or wearing unevenly.
- 48V Mild-Hybrid Electrical FaultsModerate
Later models with the 48V MHEV system can experience electrical glitches where the car refuses to enter "coasting" mode or shows battery warning lights.
