Hi, recently bought a late 2014 Acenta Premium 1.5 diesel. Pleased with the car, but find the clutch pedal really heavy, especially when in traffic. I also own a Passat 2.0 diesel and when I move from the Qashqai to the Passat I nearly put the pedal through the floor where I'm using so much force. Is this typical or do I need to return the car?
I've searched this forum and found it very informative on other topics, but can't find anything about heavy clutch pedals.

My QQ has a very light clutch pedal, it's actually lighter than the Mini Coupe 2.0d we have.

Would suggest to me that it maybe close to being worn out.
Whats the mileage , previous usage [town/motorway] , tow bar fitted etc

No idea on previous usage as only had the car for around 6 weeks. Know it was on the mobility scheme in Bournemouth, and doesn't have a tow bar, so assume fairly normal.
Mileage is just under 25K, so hope clutch is going to last a lot longer yet
