the clutch pedal dropping is common (half of our fleet had that sorted)
the cv's are common (most of ours started to go wrong at around the 40-50k mark)
tyres last around 20k if you are easy with them
brakes (as mentioned) last a service if you're lucky
and there is a deffinite slowing down after they've had a few services
but compared to the astra van i had alst week, other than outright acceleration, the connect was better in every other way
