Every standard engine in the chassis, plotted at its good-buy price against its risk level. Cheap and low-risk is the top-left; expensive and fragile is the bottom-right. M cars are excluded, they would stretch the price axis and tell you nothing about the rest.

Every standard engine on one euro axis: the bar spans the 10th to 90th percentile of asking prices, the tick is the median and the green marker is the good-buy figure. MPS cars are excluded; they sit an order of magnitude above the rest.

Written once against the chassis and shown on every variant page below, so nothing here is repeated 2 times: MPS cars included, since the bodyshell and electronics are shared.

Best value: 2.0 SkyActiv-G, which has no particulate filter and suits short journeys. The 2.2 SkyActiv-D needs its oil level checked, because failed filter regenerations add fuel to the oil and the level rises. Ask how the diesel was used, since town-only cars are the ones that suffer. So take the petrol unless you cover real distance, because the diesel's economy only pays when the filter can do its job.
