Every day’s a school day!!
I believe the feature is to prevent the wipers catching on the hood lip when it's open.

Just been looking at a low mileage Mk2 Octavia, looking for some second opinions
In my opinion, a DSG in good condition should never exhibit clunky changes - I presume that this would be a dry-clutch version. Clunky changes and strange low-speed creeping behaviour might suggest potential issues.

Auto Start-Stop not functioning
That's exactly what the alternator will be attempting to do - except it should also be making allowances for recorded battery state. Why is there a mismatch in the battery capacity adaptations ?

Welcome to the forum. Your concerns about the DSG would tend to suggest it's a wise decision to leave it. Sounds expensive too, if exterior condition is as you describe - also a little odd given the interior condition.

Can’t select drive. Only M
If the shift is fly by wire as E13 says, a failing battery can definitely be the cause of many electrical gremlins. 11.6 volts on no load is below 20% SOC and is well below battery danger level!

Another Fabia mk3 wiper issue
If the washer pump is actually operating without any fluid appearing at the rear nozzle, I'd be checking for a blockage, kink or leak - possibly where the washer hose loops between the body and the rear hatch/tailgate.

AFAIK, Galvanic action is possible whenever any less-noble metal is in contact with a more noble metal.

Remove tailgate interior
Probably a Combi if fitted with rear wiper.

Why do you think that the bulb cannot be removed ?

@whitevx did you fix the fault?

Clutch won't disengage (but then it does)
Likely to be a failing master or slave cylinder.

Can’t select drive. Only M
Provided it physically fits, fitting a larger capacity battery is not an issue as long as the vehicles BMS is adapted (coded) with the replacement batteries data.

LED headlight
Flickering leds can also be caused by a faulty led driver - whether the driver unit can be replaced separately is another question, very likely to be integral with the led module.

Axle stand location
I believe that the pad/bung should be removed and replaced with Audi-type lift pads.
