Various minor problems over last 7 years of ownership -- 59,000 miles.
Problem with heater -- fixed by dealer.
Problem with mainbeam relay -- fixed by dealer.
New headlamps.
General comments?
Very reliable in general.
New brakes due to being parked up and not used for a few months.
Other repairs par for the course on any car.
New tyres required every 30,000 miles in my experience.
Used to be serviced by main dealer, but now by local garage.
Minor service -- 6,000 -- around 120 UKP.
