2 known faults
Owners of 2007 Kyron cars report power losses with the engine warning light on. Forums advise reading the fault codes before replacing parts; the leads mentioned are sensors, the EGR valve and the injectors.
Several owner discussion threads (L'argus, Matmut, Caradisiac) describe Kyron cars with automatic gearbox switching to limp mode, with the HDC/ESP warning lights on, leaving only first and reverse in one case from 2007. The proposed causes vary (oil level, control unit, sensors); these are testimonies, not statistics. Australian reviews (Carsguide) also mention automatic gearboxes that are fragile.

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