The fault
How you spot it
On the Sportback and the convertible the fuel flap often sticks, it does not open from the button or it stays open, and this shows up on cars built between 2010 and 2016. The part is cheap, but you still cannot refuel while the flap stays shut, and on a test drive it takes half a minute to check.

How we know
Information, not an expert opinion
We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.
- A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
- A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
- You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
