Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- ASG Automated Gearbox Issues(Moderate)
The automated manual gearbox (ASG) is jerky in traffic, slow to engage drive, and prone to clutch actuator failures. The manual gearbox is far more reliable.
- Ignition Coil / Misfire(Moderate)
The 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine can suffer from ignition coil failures leading to misfires, rough idling and poor fuel economy. Coils are inexpensive but should be replaced in sets.
