    It is the best-documented variant and, overall, reasonably reliable, but units built before 2011 (220 CDI) may still have piezo injectors, and those built before 2014 do not have the revised chain tensioner. Check whether the manufacturer's campaigns have been carried out, and the condition of the chain, before buying.[5][6][7]
