Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I’ve not even done 20000 mls in this 3 year old car and just learned that it needs a new emissions/urea tank at a cost of almost £1000 plus labour. I have only just learned that in 2017 there was a recall because the urea filling cap was faulty. Although I was living at the same address as when I bought the car, I received no notification of this. Two independent garages have advised me that the need for a new tank is directly linked to the faulty cap. Despite this, Peugeot are refusing to cover the whole cost of the repair. I have been running a car for 45 years, always bought new and took good care of them and, other than typical wear and tear repairs, I have never experienced such a major issue with any of my cars. One thing is for certain-never again will I buy Peugeot. If only they had taken complete responsibility for the repair, then this review would have been so much better.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Buying the car new and looking after it, I expected reliability.
