There is a possibility that I can get an early 2012 Golf Plus at a very good price, the car is a 1.6 TDI 105 BlueMotion Tech SE 5dr DSG, 2 owners FSH with 105,000 miles.

Are there any inherent issues with these, namely the DSG box as I seem to recall early DSG's had their problems but I don't know where this box falls into the lifespan of DSG's in general?

The MOT history is good with 1 failure, which were 2 tyres and a bulb, other advisories having been just tyres.

Thank you,

HTP99

DSG should be serviced every 40K, any mention of this in the service history?

That I don't know, I will not likely see the car again until early October so would have to have a look then but thank you as it is something that I can look out for that I wasn't aware of.
