A workmate is looking to buy a W205 C180, which I believe would be the 1.6 M274 engine. 2019 car with 40k.

Any known issues with these? I had a search and it appears that they can suffer timing chain wear at around 70-80k, and there was an issue in the states with cracked pistons on earlier 2.0 variants?

Anything else he should be aware of?
