The reliability of the A180 2015

[Naser omari]

hi guys, I am looking to buy a: Mercedes A180, Manual, 2015, Diesel, 66,112 miles. I am wondering about the reliability of these models for that year.

In a article: https://www.whatcar.com/mercedes-benz/a-class/hatchback/used-review/n965/advice, the 2015 models are known for camshaft failures, causing catastrophic damage to the engine, is that true?

I put a lot of mileage on my cars in a year, highway and local driving. Is there anything I should be wary of with these models please.

Thanks!

First I've heard of camshaft failures?

Oh fair enough, maybe they're biased in their survey. Do you know of any common problems that are quite costly on these cars?
