L'argus reports a clutch problem on the BVM5 and ETG5 gearboxes of the 1.0 VTi up to 2017. Fiches-auto describes the clutch as the most visible weak point, with early replacements (the owner of a 2019 car reports a failure at 1,500 km). AutoPartsPro cites juddering at the clutch and a stretching cable on manual gearboxes.

L'argus notes jerks and slow gear progression on the ETG5. On the Peugeot forum, owners report a gearbox that drops into neutral when downshifting, or warning lights and beeps in reverse, with an actuator suspected. These are isolated testimonies, with no statistics on faults.

An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.
