Approaching 5k with no problems, other than the middle seat belt recall,which maybe awaiting on our return.
Currently on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, lazing in a very pleasant 24 oC - but quite fresh at night, and you know what?
No tourists...!
Planning to replace the tinny horn with something a little more positive.
Solid reliable first year! No problems whatsoever, first service done all checks sound. 9300 miles including return trip to Spain, cruises along great and ave mpg around the 50. 1.0 litre petrol 95 bhp manual. Best features - heated seats and adaptive cruise.
Now done over 24,000 miles,
in 4 months time will be due its MOT at 3 years
Had 2 annual services (and the rear seatbelt recall was done at first service), my choice as I do more urban driving with few longer journeys
I have swapped tyres around myself, muddled through first winter on the Pirelli P7 summer tyres it came with, but now use winter wheels Nov-April for safety.
Was intending to compile list of things to do before warranty expired, but nothing is needed, nothing has ever gone wrong, or needs fixing. So for me 100% reliable (that's tempting fate)

1 year old , first service and inspection completed plus wheels rorated at a local garage ( genuine parts used and vw oil , cost £75.00 all in ) covered 10316 miles , Vehicle has never missed a beat. Only niggle is when headlamps on , i get other drivers flashing me as though im on full beam , which i never am. Visited seat dealer settings confirmed to be ok ,
Now done nearly 31k miles, and is 3 years 2 months old
No faults in that time, never failed / broken down
No advisories at MOT either
Apart from routine servicing (and I do it annually), I have only needed one spare part, I clumsily caught the pin that the hanger string for rear parcel shelf clips on, whilst getting something big out of boot. Had to buy a replacement for £0.30
I use winter tyres from late Oct to end March, but even the original summer Pirelli P7 tyres still have over 4mm tread and have done about 20k miles on them (I do switch them around each time they go back on, so all treads about same depth).
Will have to change brake pads this winter (but first 2 years were commuting in outer London traffic, so lots of brake use), but that will be first non-annual maintenance (advised last service to do another 4-8 months as did’t need doing yet, but won’t do whole year, which I think was reasonable decision)
So my experience has been very reliable
