3 known faults

TD4 150 manuelle

Haldex clutch (all-wheel drive)
Severity 2/3 · Costly
The Haldex electromagnetic coupling deteriorates prematurely on 2006-2010 models (especially 2007-2008); contaminated fluid damages the internal components. It must be changed regularly (CarGurus recommends at least every 30,000 miles). Warning sign: whistling or whining under acceleration. Repairs often exceed £2,000 according to a British guide, with no official recall.

Rear differential bearings
Severity 2/3 · Costly
The rear differential bearings wear out (2007-2011 models according to an analysis by Bell Engineering relayed on a forum), and low oil level accelerates the damage, with a characteristic whine (Au7o). Car Checker also lists rear differential bearing wear among the main points of the TD4.

Clogged diesel particulate filter (DPF) in urban use
Severity 2/3 · Costly
The 2.2 diesel's particulate filter clogs on short journeys: regeneration requires a hot engine and steady driving (around 60 to 112 km/h) for 10 to 20 minutes. Car Checker advises against the car for mainly urban use.
