Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- Magnetic Ride Damper LeaksModerate
Optional adaptive dampers are prone to leaking and expensive to replace.
- DSG Mechatronic FailureSerious
The DQ250 6-speed S tronic can develop mechatronic unit faults, especially on 2008-2009 cars, causing harsh shifts and eventual gear loss.
- 2.0 TFSI Timing Chain TensionerSerious
The early EA888 chain tensioner can lose tension and allow a timing jump. On the TT 8J, distinguish the facelift 211 PS engine from the earlier belt-driven EA113 2.0 TFSI and TTS.
