Clutch failure after two years and 17,000 miles

My Hyundai i20 suffered a clutch failure after two years and 17,000 miles. The dealer and Hyundai have said this is not covered under warranty, as there was no fault with the mechanism. Instead, the dealer is offering to pay £125 towards the costs, which leaves me with a bill for £354. Is this a common issue with this make and model?
