Volkswagen reliability: common Volkswagen repairs
The MotorEasy Reliability Index assesses a car's reliability by averaging the frequency and cost of repairs across more than 1,200 models. It exposes hidden ownership costs and the probability of encountering issues along the way. Each model is given a reliability score on a scale from -100 (red), indicating frequent and costly repairs, to +100 (green), for cars with minimal and low-cost repairs.
Our helpful index also includes model-specific data on:
- The typical repairs needed for each model, including the percentage of claims for engine, gearbox, electrical system, suspension, braking system and fuel system repairs
- Repairs that would be covered under a VW warranty
- The average cost for these types of repairs

Volkswagen Warranty FAQs
What is an extended VW warranty?
A Volkswagen extended warranty is designed to protect your vehicle against costly electrical and mechanical failures once the original warranty expires (3 years or 60,000 miles from new, whichever comes first).
It comes in 2 variants:
- All component cover - which covers the repair or replacement of any factory-fitted mechanical or electrical component that fails during the warranty period.
- Named component cover - the less expensive and therefore less comprehensive cover, which serves a similar purpose to the “all component” cover, but where fewer parts are included.
You can get your car serviced at any VAT-registered garage that uses approved Volkswagen parts in order to satisfy those servicing guidelines.
What does a Volkswagen warranty cover?
A warranty, direct from Volkswagen, covers: “The costs of repairing or replacing the factory-fitted mechanical & electrical components of your vehicle that have suffered sudden failure (including as a result of water ingress of a covered part) during the period of cover.”
Claims are subject to the policy’s terms and conditions, as well as the maximum claim limits. VW will also cover you for consequential failure. This means if a non-covered part causes damage to a covered part, the repair costs for the covered component will be included (MotorEasy policies offer the same protection but for an extended period.)
As we saw above, Volkswagen’s extended warranty comes in two variants, both of which require your vehicle to have less than 100,000 miles to qualify. However, neither option includes coverage for failures caused by overheating which is inevitable as your car ages.
MotorEasy warranty covers all the same things as a Volkswagen extended warranty, but with the addition of:
- Emissions failures
- overheating failures
- Air conditioning issues
If you’d like to get more comprehensive cover than VW will offer you, without sizable excess fees, and with cover for overheating failures included - just enter your registration number and a few other details on our quote journey.
How long is a Volkswagen warranty?
A Volkswagen extended warranty lasts for 12 months, and you can only take out cover if your car has less than 100,000 miles on the clock. If you're looking for longer protection, a MotorEasy extended VW warranty offers up to 3 years of coverage, up to 120,000 miles, and includes protection for failures caused by overheating.

How much does a VW extended warranty cost?
You might have seen that you can get an extended VW warranty from £140 per year.
But that price is based on:
- Taking ‘named component’ cover (the cheaper and less comprehensive option)
- Only having a mileage allowance of 10,000 miles per year
- Being within 30 days of your original warranty expiration
- Having less than 60,000 miles on the clock
- The engine size being less than 1.4L
- Choosing an excess of £250
At MotorEasy, we believe in honesty and transparency. Unlike others, we don’t use enticing headline prices that only apply to a small fraction of customers. Instead, we tailor your warranty to your exact vehicle and driving needs, providing a fair and realistic price every time, rather than a hypothetical figure.
In the event of a claim, you also won’t have to pay the £250 excess fee as detailed in Volkswagen’s low-cost warranty option. That’s because a MotorEasy warranty gives you the flexibility to choose a modest repair contribution of £0, £25 or £50, as a way to lower the cost of your premium.
All things considered, that means a MotorEasy warranty compared to a Volkswagen extended warranty is:
- Less expensive
- Offers more cover
- Won’t hit you with an expensive excess fee
- Gives you more flexibility to choose a modest repair contribution to lower your premium cost
- Gives you interest free instalment options
- Is trusted by over 1.2 million motorists
Does Volkswagen have a 10 year warranty?
No. Volkswagen only offers extended warranties in 12-month increments. Your new VW came with a Volkswagen 3 year warranty (or 60,000 if this happens sooner). If you are within 30 days of that warranty expiration, you can extend for a further 12 months at a time.
Get a MotorEasy Volkswagen warranty here for:
- Cover for overheating failures
- Up to 3 years’ cover
- Cars up to 12 years
- Eligibility up to 120,000 miles
Can I get a warranty on a used VW?
If you bought your used Volkswagen from a VW main dealer you’ll have received a minimum 24-month Volkswagen used car warranty under their Approved Used scheme.
However, when that warranty ends - or if you're seeking greater protection - MotorEasy can provide extended Volkswagen warranty coverage as long as your car has fewer than 120,000 miles and is under 12 years old.
You’ll not only get the peace of mind that comes with our more extensive warranty cover but also these additional benefits that make your life easier:
- Free Digital Logbook: Keep track of important dates, like service and MOT reminders, through your MotorEasy account, plus enjoy exclusive MotorEasy discounts.
- Monitored Repairs: Our repair process ensures all work is completed to the highest standards
- No Upfront Payments: We pay network garages directly, so you’re never out of pocket
- Nationwide Coverage: Access over 10,000 trusted garages across the UK
- Convenient Bookings: Book maintenance online 24/7
How can I check my VW warranty?
If you’re wondering “Is my VW still under warranty”?, you can do a Volkswagen warranty check online - either using VW’s website or the DVLA’s information checker.
What is the difference between a Volkswagen new car warranty, extended warranty and approved used warranty?
A new VW warranty (or Volkswagen manufacturer warranty) is the warranty you get when buying a brand new Volkswagen. It covers you for 3 years or 60,000 miles (whichever happens first). A Volkswagen extended warranty is kind of like a Volkswagen add on warranty: it gives you extra coverage that goes beyond your original Volkswagen warranty. A Volkswagen approved used warranty offers coverage for certified pre-owned Volkswagen, with various levels of protection and benefits.
