Octavia Vrs DSG

Hi all, I'm interested in one of the above. Found one with high mileage but with full Skoda uk history. I'm not familiar with any DSG problems. Any advice welcome on what to look out for or should it be left alone. Its 2010. Thanks

If you have the reg number on it you could also join the Briskoda forum and ask if any member would have any knowledge of that particualr car.

I Don't mean to hijack this thread but I'm thinking of buying a 2011 vrs with 65000 miles and full service history.
Is there any issues with these cars as I've never drove a skoda.
Heard people saying dpfs can block on earlier 08 models.
I've also seen a few advertised stating software update just done. Is this due to the emissions scandal or do these cars need dealer updating regularly?.
Thanks.
