My Peugeot 104 (1982-86) had a least one replaced - slipping.
Both BXs had them replaced as absurdly heavy by 75k miles. The Xantia's got heavy too but by then it was mostly a station hack and I just lived with it.
The first Berlingo's failed at around 100k; pedal dropped to the floor. Apparently a design issue, something that should have been steel was plastic. Mrs B's cousin's Pug Partner of the same age/mileage had exactly the same failure. Second failure at around 150k was release bearing as mentioned above. As well as The Lad's clutch riding I suspect the first replacement may not have been set up properly - it whistled when the clutch was up suggesting (to my mind) that the release bearing was catching or ill lubricated.
