Is it a 1.6 petrol?

These had the BMW "Prince" engine, as used in Minis and smaller BMWs, which has some well known issues with the cam chain. The cam timing fault code could well be linked.

It's not exactly unexpected for the cat on a 10yo car to be nearing end-of-life, so that would be unlikely to be grounds for return.

No, it's a 1.2 petrol. Though I believe it has one of those wet timing belts which come with their own problems. Wish I'd have learned that before buying as I might not have gone that route, though there seems to be a lot of cars using those nowadays.

It's not a Puretech in a 2014 C3. They didn't come until the new model in 2016.

It will be the 1.2VTi, which is almost the same as the Puretech and has a wet belt.
