I liked to know where that info comes from, 400,000km is just under 250,000 miles, ifan Octavia with a DQ200 is used as a a taxi (there is some out there) it would  not have a very long life at all, Any gearbox is susposed to last the lifetime of the vehicle and that could be a million miles. incidently not all DQ200 boxes got wrong and i have seen and tested octavia's still on the origanil DSG boxes (200's and 250's) with well over 250,000 miles on the clock, here in london minicabs have to be MOT'd every 6 months and be under 10 years old to comply with hackney PCO rules. And yes i know DQ200 boxes are the worst out of the DSG's.

I think it was in a VW technical webpage on their site and it was the distance before major overhaul ie new plates and oil change etc.  Refurb box could go on for another 400k kms.
