Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- Infotainment & Software ErrorsModerate
Software glitches in the MIB touchscreen infotainment system can cause spurious error warnings, display freezes, and unexpected reboots.
- Seatbelt Recall and Handbrake AdjusterSerious
VW recalled early Polo Mk6s for faulty seatbelts that could unlatch themselves (up to October 2018 build) and for a handbrake adjuster that could slip (October 2017–October 2018). A brake servo manufacturing fault also led to a March 2020 recall.
- DQ200 DSG Gearbox IssuesSerious
The 7-speed dry-clutch DSG on the Polo GTI and 1.0/1.5 TSI models can develop mechatronic faults, causing jerky shifts or total gear loss. The DQ250 wet-clutch unit on the GTI is generally more reliable but still requires 40k-mile fluid changes.
