Issue	Affects	Typical km	Repair cost	Source
Oil use and sludge	2.0 TFSI (BPJ, BWE, BUL), 1.8 T (BFB), 2.0 (ALT)	Not stated	No confirmed price	Generation guide
Front suspension and steering	All B7 (multi-link front)	100,000-150,000 km	No confirmed price	Generation guide
Body rust	All B7	Not stated	No confirmed price	Generation guide

On a 1.8 T, a 2.0 TFSI or a 2.0 (ALT), check the oil level. Ask for oil-change records.
Lift the car and inspect the ball joints and control arms. Worn parts cannot be repaired, so plan to replace the linked parts together.
Look underneath, behind the plastic panels, at the sills, the tailgate and the door edges. Rust on the sills or the underbody is a bad sign.
Ask the dealer to check open recall campaigns by VIN, including the Takata passenger airbag. An open recall is a bad sign.
