Common issues to watch
- •DSG oil changes are essential; mechatronic and clutch wear is the main big-ticket risk.

What to check before you buy
- Demand DSG service evidence on automatics.
- Check for chain rattle and diesel after-treatment faults.
- Look for water in the boot and clear/test the sunroof drains.
