Before investing in one you might want to read this:

Basically the Slingsby Venture is an endangered species


Interesting. What is the basis for this?
Would the same apply to the Scheibe versions?

You would have to assume that it might. Both aircraft share the
same metal tube fuselage, the main difference is the carbon fibre
spar which as far as I know, does not have a fatigue life, neither
does wood.
The mention of fatigue would tend to suggest a problem with a
metal part or parts. The way the AD is worded would mean that the
aircraft is scrap when it reaches the limit
