Hi Matt,

I own a MY12 125TDI wagon, so same yet slightly different.

As always make sure that the service history is up to date and preformed by a VW dealer or independent specialist. I would avoid those cars that have been serviced by the local auto masters, ultra tune et al. It is likely that the incorrect fluids were used. Also make sure that the DSG and Haldex system has been properly serviced.

As I am sure you know, VW diesels are a solid car but need to be serviced correctly.

PS I would also avoid TDI that have had the Dieselgate fix/ECU Flash. Controversial I know, but there are many reports of poorer performance/issues after the fix. So why take the chance. I haven't yet.

Good luck.
