Fine for the first 8 years then many things went wrong
It started in 2008 when the power steering warning light came on frequently (about 40% of journeys) although a fault was apparent only at low speed conditions e.g. when parking.
This was followed by an ABS warning that occurred each time the car was driven and at night time this was accompanied by a fluctuation of the headlights.
The estimated cost of rectifying these electronic problems exceeded £1,000 so the car was traded in under the sc***page scheme.
