Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2015 model year cars.
- DQ200 DSG Mechatronic FailureSerious
The 7-speed dry-clutch DQ200 gearbox can suffer mechatronic unit failure, causing erratic gear changes, loss of drive, or the gearbox entering limp mode. The accumulator piston and clutch actuator are common weak points.
- EA189 Diesel Emissions RecallModerate
The 1.2 TDI and 1.6 TDI engines were part of the "Dieselgate" EA189 emissions scandal. The software fix applied by VW has been linked by many owners to increased EGR valve failures, DPF blockages, and reduced fuel economy.
- Rear Light Seal Water IngressModerate
Water leaks through perished foam gaskets behind the rear light clusters, running down into the spare wheel well and boot floor. Left unchecked, this causes mould, electrical gremlins, and rusted boot floor seams.
