This model suffers from 159 model issues: - soft gearbox M32 (GM made) - steering rack leaking - timing chain stretching (in 1.9 and 2.2 JTS - again GM Made) - DPF and EGR issues (with the diesels) - intake manifold flaps issues (with the diesels) Generally speaking the 159 is a reliable car.

Mightn’t be any harm to get him to list the spec it has: 9 airbags 16” alloy wheels Front foglights Front and rear electric windows Steering wheel radio controls Remote locking Noth8ng exotic there, but no harm in listing it. Would also suggest changing “no problems with engine or gearbox” to “engine and gearbox working perfectly”
