The fault
How you spot it
The gearbox is relatively new, so there is still little data on its failures. The weak point known so far is the front input shaft bearing.
Beyond that the first-gear synchro can wear quickly. The oil level is worth watching, because the gearbox holds little oil, so even a small leak soon brings the level to a critical point. The versions come with a dual-mass flywheel, which is not the most durable part.

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.
