Known issues

• DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) blockages and regeneration issues, particularly on vehicles with short urban trips
• Turbocharger reliability concerns; premature wear and occasional failure reported, especially at higher mileages
• Engine oil sludge buildup if service intervals not strictly adhered to; poor-quality fuel exacerbates this
• Gearbox shuddering on low-speed manoeuvres, particularly with the Xtronic CVT variant
• EGR valve carbon deposits causing rough idle and increased emissions
• Electric parking brake electronic module failures and intermittent faults

Good for

• Decent fuel economy for a diesel SUV when driven on mixed routes (45–52 mpg realistic)
• Practical compact crossover with good visibility and easy to manoeuvre in urban settings
• Strong resale value compared to petrol equivalent; diesel buyers still in demand for work vehicles
• Robust 1.5-litre dCI engine core design with good parts availability in the UK and Ireland market
