Potential Mechanical Concerns:
While robust, some M156 engines experienced variable valve timing (VVT) sprocket wear. Early models (pre-2010) had head bolt issues, but these were addressed in later revisions and the 2012 model year should be less affected or have had them replaced. Check for oil leaks, especially from the valve covers.
