the issues I'm aware of on the S1 are (to what extent you'd have to investigate),

engine mount cracks,
belt wear
collapsing rear shock,
gearbox problems (from very stiff changes to complete failure),
ansilary electricl problems,
fuel leaks,
exhaust rot,
and brake fade.

I'm not aware of any of the recall notices, but do know there were some, so another point to investigate.

Cheers Mark.
