For sure if you get one from the agents you'll get something to that effect but there are a good number of independent gearbox specialists that work on Cvt gearboxes.

Kinsey Report 2020: these vehicles have the cheapest parts in SA
The 2020 version of the Kinsey Report (branded as the AA-Kinsey Report for the second year running) has been released, and it reveals some of the vehicles that boast the cheapest “parts baskets” in South Africa.
As reminder, the report is compiled by journalist Malcolm Kinsey and compares popular vehicles across nine categories, in terms of the prices of their spare parts. This is further split according to the cost of parts needed for servicing, repairs and crashes.
In the 30th year of the Kinsey Report “a few changes” were made in terms of how the figures were collected. Data was collected in September 2020, with manufacturers supplying retail prices which were then “randomly checked at dealerships”. Take note a few brands with “very low sales figures” were excluded from the study.
Check out the top three vehicles in each of the nine categories below (and see the full parts pricing document on the AA’s website here):
City cars and entry-level vehicles
The Renault Kwid 1,0 Expression is the overall winner here, with a parts basket total of R62 990,01. The Ford Figo 1,5 Trend hatchback places second, ahead of the Hyundai Atos 1,1 Motion.
Superminis
The Hyundai i20 1,2 Fluid heads this category, boasting the most affordable parts basket at R90 065,64. The Toyota Starlet 1,4 Xs is a close second at R90 826,71 and third is the Ford Fiesta 1,0 Trend hatchback at R91 275,46.
Family favourites
The overall winner in this segment is the Toyota Corolla Quest 1,8 Prestige, with a parts total of R85 031,16, edging out the Nissan Almera 1,5 Acenta (R86 488,88). Third place goes to the Toyota Corolla Hatch 1,2T Xs, which a basket total of R131 294,40).
Crossovers
The Toyota Fortuner 2,8 GD-6 AT again takes the crown in this category (although we’re still not sure we’d class it a “crossover”) with a parts basket of R100 429,31. The Nissan X-Trail 2,5 Tekna places second (R115 921,16) and the Volkswagen T-Cross 1,0 TSI Comfortline third (R118 852,51).
