However, I have a 2011, done 259,000km, one prior owner, fully maintained, no noticeable cam chain noise.

In contrast, the 2013, 133,000km but already 4 or 5 prior owners, (was cheap, but) probably badly maintained, already has this problem. I was hoping the 2013 would replace the '11 as that one has clutch/gearbox issues...

You know what they say - the best laid plans... But I was hoping the '13 would keep us on the road. I'm hoping that if I can get the tensioner sorted, it might be ok.

Oh, and, I've watched too many Alan Howat videos...! It looks to me like lack of clean oil causes these issues, and it seems, once it starts, it's one way.
