Common Issues to Check

- Software glitches on the newer 10.25-inch infotainment screens, often requiring a simple DVLA-recognised dealer update.
- TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) sensors can be overly sensitive, leading to false dashboard warnings.
- Reverse camera seals on older versions (pre-2018) can perish, allowing moisture to fog the lens.
- Check MOT history for suspension bush wear, a common advisory for cars living on speed-bump heavy urban routes.
