Corsa 2022 1.5 Diesel - looking to buy - DieselMan1966

Hi

I'm considering my next car and looking at the Mokka\Corsa 1.5D around the 2021 year. Are these plagued by the timing chain issue that affects the DV5 diesel?

I'm also curious as to why these chains fail? I has the idea it was due to the length between services and the quality of the oil used in those services if they are being serviced outside of the dealier network?

My plan, if I were to buy one of these is to service it every 6 months at the dealership regarless of mileage to keep the oil and filter fresh

The dv5 engine is used in many different vehicles. The problem is with the chain that connects the 2 camshafts . Very common for them the break , which usually destroys the engine . The chain has been upgraded from 7mm to 8 mm . Don’t think it’s an oil service problem. Previous dv 6 , 1.6 engine was not a problem.
