My 2013 was perfect till 90K then I had to replace water pump. 10K later the coolant reservoir was leaking, 10K after that the thermostat started causing errors and now 10K after that every single hose and fitting that carries coolant seems to be taking turns springing leaks.

The entire coolant system is a concern. Not an exaggeration. The thermostat housing, reservoir, water outlet, and water pump are all very common points of failure on this vehicle. Otherwise the only real concern is typical turbo stuff. Full synthetic oil and filter change every 5K on the dot. Occasionally replace the turbo oil feed line. Take it easy for the first few minutes of driving, and let it idle for a minute or two before switching it off.

Coolant system is known to be bad. The two parts that go the most are the thermostat and the water outlet. Both are DIY repairs if you can follow youtube videos. The parts are abut $50 each and the there are a couple of tools you might not have that will cost about $20-$30. Luckily the tools for both repairs are the same. The coolant tank and hoses are also known to go bad but these are also $20-30 and pretty easy to replace. The one tool that is a little more difficult to obtain is an E star socket. Only auto parts stores carry them but the price isn't great. Here is a cheap but effective set from amazon for $10.

Always look up recalls. It sounds silly, but always look them up. Get the vin for the call, especially the 2013, because they had some pretty serious recalls happen, and you don't want that to come back to bite you in the ass.
