hi all
As per the title really.
I am looking at a leon St 300 lux. Its 2020, 33,000 m with a 3 service history.
What should I look out for when viewing it? Any known problems i should be aware of ?
I know the dsg will need servicing at 40,000, does the hadlex need any special servicing?

Finally, is it ok for a daily driver/commuter? My wife used my leon 190tsi as her commuter and loved it. and until we can find her a suitable replacement she will have to use the new leon.

Thanks in advance

Haldex oil needs changing g every 20,000 miles or 3 years, about £120 at a VAG specialist.

According to Seat, the DSG oil on the Mk 3.5 needs changing at 80,000 miles, but my specialist recommends every 60,000 miles.

The most common failure is the water pump and thermostat housing, more a question of when rather if it will fail.

I've had my 2020 300ST for nearly 3 years used it for everyday driving and long motorway runs and it has never missed a beat.
