Problems 
Bodywork Problems:Although not in the service schedule, I understand the cam belt will need changing at four years old, irrespective of the modest mileage.
Engine Problems:Although not in the service schedule, I understand the cam belt will need changing at four years old, irrespective of the modest mileage.
Gearbox Problems:Gear change has always been a bit clunky. Gather this is not uncommon on VW Group cars.
Electrics Problems:
General Problems:Failure of one of the welds on the exhaust brackets, remedied under warranty just before first MOT due. Overall been too many niggling problems which suggest some components are inadequately specified or not made to specification. A shame really because there's basically a good car trying to get out. Now thinking replacing and I will look at SEATs again but will be looking for convincing reassurance that quality/durability has improved.
