On cars between 2016 and 2020 the head unit freezes or restarts; the navigation responds slowly. Owners typically go back to the dealer for a software update. After the 2020 facelift the complaint is noticeably rarer.

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.
