- 1.2 PureTech "Wet Belt" DegradationSerious
The timing belt runs in oil and can degrade, shedding debris that blocks the oil pickup. This leads to oil starvation, vacuum pump failure, and a dangerous loss of braking assistance (Recall R/2020/331).
- BlueHDi AdBlue tank and NOx-sensor faultsSerious
Later diesels can throw UREA warnings, emissions faults and no-start countdowns when the SCR system, tank or NOx sensors begin to fail.
- Touchscreen and parking-brake glitchesModerate
The touchscreen controls so much of the cabin that lag, black screens or electronic parking-brake faults are more than minor annoyances on an everyday family car.
