• German TÜV data for 2008-2017 cars: springs, dampers, headlight aim, rear lamps and brakes, including discs from the second inspection, fail more often than average, as do oil leaks.2008–2017
• On the 2017-on car, German TÜV inspectors fail steering joints about 24 times more often than average at the third inspection, usually for perished rubber boots.2017–2024
• On the 2008-2017 car the TSI petrol engines are known for timing chains that stretch and can jump teeth; VW extended goodwill cover for such damage on the 1.2 and 1.4 TSI.2008–2017
• Owners of the 2017-on car interviewed by a German site say it pulls weakly from low revs because of tall gearing, and that the brakes tend to squeal.2017–2024
