- Front Multi-link Suspension WearModerate
The Passat-derived front suspension can chew through arms and bushes, leaving clunks, vague steering and uneven tyre wear.

Blocked plenum drains or failed door seals can soak the carpets and upset central locking and convenience modules.
- Dual-mass Flywheel WearModerate
High-mileage diesel cars often develop DMF chatter and vibration that turns into clutch replacement territory.
