Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- MQB Water Pump LeakModerate
Standard MQB issue with warping housings.
- DSG Gearbox Jerk and DelayModerate
The DQ381 7-speed wet-clutch DSG can develop a jerky pull-away, delayed reverse engagement or a hissing noise during gear changes. Software updates help, but worn clutch packs on high-mileage cars may require a full rebuild.
- AdBlue / NOx Sensor FaultsModerate
The 2.0 TDI models with Selective Catalytic Reduction can develop NOx sensor or AdBlue heater faults, triggering a countdown to no-start and persistent warning lights. Sensor contamination from poor-quality AdBlue is a common cause.
