DSG on older cars
Discussion
Im currently looking for an estate car and having had 2 x B5 Passats in the past im drawn toward a B6 this time but fancy an automatic.
Are the DSG transmissions in this age of car fairly reliable?
Im guessing most will have skipped services throughout their life due to the costs involved so is it important to find one that has been religiously done?
If there are any chances of expensive failure ahead i will stick to manual cars, most cars im looking at are close to or over 100k miles.

You will probably struggle to find one that has been serviced as most dealers spout the ‘sealed for life’ line.
And in all honesty, even with strict servicing being done, it’s all down to how it’s been driven!
I would certainly try and avoid multiple owners greater than 100k miles tbh.
Good luck.
It will be a headache.
