Nothing major has gone wrong with the vehicle, it is 9 years old so the odd wear and tear faults have occurred, like advisories when going in for MOT, for example; handbrake and brake lights etc.

The car's size is very practical to drive and to park but it still has plenty of space in the back for passengers and plenty of boot space for luggage and shopping.
