The 1.9 PD motor is a good motor but a very old design, so it is gruff, grumbly and vibratory -- especially in colder weather when it is not fully warmed up. And it does take a LONG time to warm up fully: my old Passat would need 7 to 10 miles in winter before being fully warm.
As it's under 6 years old I wouldn't have thought an engine mount would have let go or got floppy just yet, but it might be worth checking.
One thing that does happen is the intake snorkel on the airbox can work loose, causing a ridiculous amount of resonance. A blob or two of Blu-Tak can sort it out.
