• Oil seeping from the engine, gearbox and all-wheel-drive system is the main inspection finding on the 2010-2017 car, and it shows up even on young examples.2010–2017
• On the 2010-2017 petrol V6, the timing chain can stretch as its tensioner weakens; left alone, a jumped chain can wreck the engine.2010–2017
• Brakes rarely draw inspection criticism, but replacement discs are expensive, and one owner notes the large-wheel tyres wear fast and cost a lot.2010–2017
• Owners of the 2012 car are split on reliability: several report few problems after years of use, while one describes repeated sensor, oil-level and coolant faults.2012
