1.5 TSI EVO answers needed asap please?

Hello. I've only posted once on here before, so quite a new member. Any guidance regarding my question is needed, and will be appreciated.

Anyway, I recently paid for a Seat Leon FR Black Edition, with a 1.5 TSI Evo engine. The car is from 2020, has 48,000 miles on the clock and has two previous owners. The last owner had it for four years. I am due to pick it up tomorrow, but I stressing about it now, as I discovered today, that this engine is well known for it's kangaroo/juddering issues. However, I'm unable to find any clear answers on whether or not, if these particular engines from that year, suffer with this problem. I can't seem to find anyone reporting problems, from beyond 2019. So I'm asking if anyone knows, or maybe may have experienced a car with this engine in, with the problem that I have mentioned? I really need some answers, tonight.

Thanks, Nick.

To late I know, did you collect the car ok?

Mine (2019) doesn't really do this, but its a DSG which apparently suffer less from this, but its far from smooth from cold, but this also applies to the wife's Ibiza and a family members 2.0 Leon, but I suspect it maybe less noticeable in this ambient temperature..
