Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2022 model year cars.
- 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.
- DPF Clogging on Diesel ModelsModerate
The 1.6 TDI BlueMotion models are prone to diesel particulate filter clogging, especially if used for short urban trips. Regeneration cycles may not complete, leading to limp mode and expensive DPF cleaning or replacement.
