Our Verdict
A strong candidate for those seeking a modern diesel hatchback. The vehicle presents a consistent MOT history with no recorded defects over its recorded lifespan.
When inspecting this specific vehicle, verify the service history to ensure the 1598cc CRDI engine has received regular oil changes, which is critical for diesel longevity. Since the MOT records show no defects, your focus should be on the service book and any digital records of maintenance.
Check the condition of the stop-start (ISG) system and the infotainment unit, as these are key features of the '2 NAV' trim. Given the mileage is relatively low for a diesel, ensure the vehicle has been used for more than just short city trips to prevent DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues, though the MOT history does not currently show any related failures.
As a 1.6L diesel, this CEED is designed for efficiency on longer journeys. You can expect competitive fuel economy, making it a cost-effective choice for motorway commuting.
Insurance groups for this model vary depending on the driver profile, but the 2020 registration suggests modern safety features are present. Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for standard diesel-specific servicing intervals.
Since the MOT history for LB20FAJ is entirely clear of defects, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures to watch for based on previous tests. Instead, focus on general wear and tear consistent with 30,751 miles.
Inspect the brake pads and tyres, as these are common items that eventually appear as advisories. Additionally, check the condition of the white paintwork for any signs of stone chipping or scuffs, and ensure the diesel engine starts smoothly and idles quietly.
