Default Volvo C30, which one to go for?

Evening all

1st foray into this forum

Normally in the S60 bit!

We inherited a 2012 Peugeot 308 a while ago, and subsequently, and regretfully, sold our R56 Mini JCW Cooper S.

Bow looking back, this wasn't the best idea, as both me and my wife miss it lots, but, it was tiny and not ideal for a new family. But now were both properly decided the 308 is too dull for us to cope with, and the o/h loves my S60, but would like something a bit smaller, I suggested a C30 and she likes the look of them a lot, so were on the look out.

I appreciate they aren't massive in the boot department, but still usefully bigger than the Mini was, and a fair bit bigger inside.

Ideally would be a 1.6d, I know the early PSA engine has issues with the injector seals causing turbo, and subsequently engine failure, what year did they change over?

Any major issues to look out for?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Liam
