the 1.4 introduced somewherein the 2000s was their last "good" engine. newer models just suffer from downsizing, constant engine problems after around 80K km.
buy a used honda or a toyota. might even be fuel efficient if you buy a prius for cheap and replace the battery.
or, you know... buy a small car. the 1st gen aygo easily does 40-50mpg and cost 10K BRAND NEW. but then toyota made it a crossover which uses more fuel and is almost 20K.
Their diesel engines are great. At almost 100k miles on my diesel jetta and no issues whatsoever.
160K km is indeed quite an amount, my 1SZ-FE Yaris has done just over 100K now, and similarly has had zero incidents after 20 Years and me being it's 4th owner. doesn't use oil, doesn't burn coolant, no unusual rattles, everytime we change the oil it's still very translucent.
they don't make them like they used to, not even the toyotas.
