Reliability Analysis

Rock solid (Risk Score 3.0/10). Unlike the smaller 1.6 HDi (turbo/oil issues), the 2.0 is overbuilt. It does huge mileage without major mechanical failures. Ancillaries (DPF/EGR) are the only concern.

Highly Recommended

Autoscore Verdict

Highly Recommended. If you need a long-distance cruiser, this is the engine to get. Smooth, powerful enough, and very reliable.

Common Problems & Weak Points

Issue	Typical Mileage	Repair Cost (Est.)	Severity
Dual Mass Flywheel	~150,000 km	€800 – €1500	Medium

Dual Mass Flywheel

Like most modern torque-heavy diesels, the Dual Mass Flywheel takes a beating. It gets noisy and eventually fails, requiring a clutch replacement. It's a wear item rather than a defect.

Typical Mileage: 150,000 km

Cost: €800–1500

Buyer's Inspection Checklist

Check DPF fluid (Eolys) refill history.
Listen for flywheel rattle on shutdown/idle.
Check for turbo lag or boost leaks.
Verify timing belt change (every 10 years/180-240k km depending on version).
