1.2 PureTech Active 5d
High Failure Risk Car
Engine failure at mile 66863, suspected worn piston ring causing cylinder misfire.
1.2 Pure s*** Engine, wet belt design (problematic to align the sensor for the belt), risk of clogging the engine, low engine oil pressure warning.
Drive and handle wise were actually quite good.
However, as I bought the car, it brought me nothing but troubles and trauma, and leaded me to small claim court.
I must admit I did not carry out the due diligence properly, to do HPI check, this junk has a SALVAGE AUCTION RECORD.
Choosing this car (this engine), you are expected to maintain to the very high standard, to bring to approved / Peugeot specialist for maintenance. But the engine? who knows how long they could last.
RAC offers you budget national wide recovery.
sellthecar.co.uk is a great place to sell damaged car (compare to car buying group).
Honestly, just go buy Toyota or Honda. Why put yourself into a headache car with turbo engine?
