injector seals are a common problem, usually shows as a slightly lumpy idle and signs of leakage at the injector.

My injector seals were leaking when I picked the car up from Arnold Clark, it had done 19k miles and was 3 years old. The symptoms I had were a bad smell of exhaust fumes inside the cabin when not moving and a hissing or ticking noise coming from the engine. I took the car back and the seals were replaced under warranty.
