Design 1.3CDTi 16v 3dr Hatchback

Okay but has had the usual problems

I brought this with 58,000 miles on the clock. There was a slight noise from the gearbox which I questioned with the dealer and he said it was common and nothing to worry about. The car was fine for six months until the EGR valve failed leaving it unable to start. £300 later and I was back on the road.
In June 2015 I was getting worried about the whining from the gearbox so had it looked at and sure enough I needed the bearings replaced (a common fault with the six speed gearbox). By now it had covered about 80,000 miles so I had the bearings replaced as well as a clutch due to it needing replacing in a year or so time. Total cost for this was £860,
So in two and a half years it cost me nearly £1200 for repairs.Overall still happy with the car and I easily get 500 miles per tank of diesel.
