- Electro-Hydraulic Steering PumpSerious
The electro-hydraulic power steering pump (TRW or KOYO) or its wiring loom can fail, leading to intermittent or total loss of steering assistance.
- Timing Chain Rattle (1.2 TSI)Serious
The 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine uses a timing chain that stretches over time, causing a distinctive rattle on cold start. If the chain jumps, it can cause catastrophic valve and piston damage.
- Front Wishbone Bush WearModerate
The front lower wishbone bushes perish prematurely, causing vague steering, knocking noises over bumps and uneven tyre wear.
